S coined a new word yesterday: Awesomistic.
We have been studying Sword Fighting. In our daily review yesterday S was asked one of the questions, “What will you do when you are tempted to be pessimistic?”
Optimistic – Expecting a favorable outcome
Awesomistic – Expecting the very best outcome
Even though it was 102.7° yesterday, the children were awesomistic they would find a way to keep cool.
Even though this was not one of the kids’ lifelike toys that was found in the utility room yesterday. I am awesomistic that it took care of any bugs that happened to be out there. I’m also grateful that I was not the one who discovered it, that it is harmless, and especially that it is now living happily in the flowerbed outside.
One more:
We discovered we had no water right before going to bed last night. The man did a cursory examination of the well house and couldn’t discover a solution. He decided whatever it was could wait until the morning light. I was awesomistic that…that…that…
This morning the man cleaned some dead ants out from around the switch on the well. We have water again. Another happy ending.
