Victorious

As many of you might know I'm a really big fan of words.  Much more so than your usual personage.

Each year, usually in early January, I brainstorm for "my word".  This last year it was SIMPLIFY.  This year it's RECEIVE.  I chose the word receive because I am challenged with being a gracious receiver and I also really liked the aspect of receiving!  When I looked up the dictionary definition I was even more excited because there is so much to this word....
