Eunoia

Hi. Sorry for not posting yesterday, but nothing wanted to load for some reason. It's not loading well right now either, so I have fewer sources than I'd like. Also, I have a planned post, but it needs to wait until something happens before I can do it, and it hasn't happened yet.

So, instead, let's talk about Eunoia. Before it's lovely definition, it's the shortest word in the English Language that includes all of the vowels. When translated, it means 'Beautiful Thinking' or 'Good Spirit'. 

The definition is basically a feeling of goodwill, especially between a speaker and the audience. Such as the goodwill I feel towards you, the reader of my blog, and the way I hope that this will make you smile, or the goodwill you feel towards me that means you'll trust that I'm not lying to you about what I'm saying.

Hopefully, I'll be back soon with my planned post, which I somehow think you'll be happy to see. If you want to know more about the word and how to use it, be warned that there is a book by the same name running around, which means that not all the links you find might be about the word. 

Either way though, thanks for reading.

On to another litter. I'd considered doing the Aussies, but I think I'll do the Bears first. Or at least one of them.  Everyone know...
