E...F...G...H... Yikes how I feel after falling behind in my A to Z posting!

I am...
Extremely...

Forgetful....

Grateful &...

Happy.

I can not believe that I missed 3 (oops...4) letters of the alphabet, but I am back. And I have chosen 4 words to look at in this one post.

Extremly is an adverb, so let's go with it's root word: Extreme which is both an adjective & a noun with 15 different no... varying (that's probably a better word choice) definitions. Only 2 of which use some form of the word itself. I'm impressed!
For today's post I'm going to choose this one as my definition of choice:
     adjective: exceeding the bounds of moderation:
All 15 would take up way to much space & is quite extreme if you ask me. If you'd like to see more (some of them were quite...interesting. One was even archaic!) just check out this link to dictionary.com's definitions!

Forgetful-
adjective
1. apt to forget; that forgets
That one's out...not a proper definition. (how I have managed to get myself stuck on this "proper" definition kick...I really don't know. But it's giving me ideas on how to start my posts, so I think for now I shall stick with it!)
2. heedless or neglectful (often followed by of)
3. bringing on oblivion

For the sake of this week's feelings, let's go with definition #2...heedless or neglectful. Oh how that makes me sad! However, it is quite accurate when you look at a post that is intended to be one letter a week & this week the writer feels the need to make up for the 3 (rather 4) missed weeks plus the current one because she was neglectful more than just forgetful.

Grateful-
adjective
1. warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received;thankful
2. expressing or actuated by gratitude
(It’s not the exact word, but it is a form of the word & my English teacher would never let that fly on a vocab test)
3. pleasing to the mind or senses; agreeable or welcome; refreshing

Warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness...that I am! For each one of you despite my neglectfulness is still here reading my silly little narrative.

Happy-
adjective
1. delighted, pleased, or glad, as over a particular thing:
2. characterized by or indicative of pleasure, contentment, or joy:
3. favored by fortune; fortunate or lucky:
4. apt or felicitous, as actions, utterances, or ideas.
5. obsessed by or quick to use the item indicated (usually used incombination):

(this one requires an example: if it wasn't for this gadget-happy world, I wouldn't be blogging. :) )

So today's post finds me feeling like I am:
exceeding the bounds of moderation in: neglectfulness, deep appreciation of kindness and delight over a particular thing (that thing being our gadget-happy world that is conducive to sharing our silly thoughts with the world at large!) That's some extreme emotions right there

Oh and get this: Half of the words this week (which is technically 4-make that 5-weeks worth of posts in one...but I am trying desperately to make sure it isn't 4 posts long!) were English teacher proper! Not too shabby for a week full of adjectives!

Have a extra-fabulous greatly-humble week...oooooo...4 more adjectives. Okay..I will stop now :)

Wow! You packed quite a bit in your post. It's nice
to read what you have to say on the A to Z Meme
again. :) I am extremely grateful and happy that
I only missed one letter so far--h. Though I mustn't
be forgetful of j this coming week. And I was forgetful
about posting the meme symbol. Glad we often get
second, third and . . . even more chances in this life.

Thanks so much :) It was fun to be creative with so much (yet try to keep it on the short side). I hope this is the only one I forget!!! I'm a bit worried I may forget again over Christmas-New Year's but I will just trust that if I do, God will give me something to share.

As for second chances: oh my goodness! I could not imagine living life without those 2nd, 3rd & 4th chances that He gives us!

Have a blessed day!
