Write it on Wednesday: Starting with one little word...

Here's a way to create a whole LO based on a word.

When you start to write or journal about a subject, one way to start is to do a bit of research…

I’m still trying to bear in mind my word of the year TRANQUILLITY

First I looked in a dictionary:

1. an untroubled state; free from disturbances
2. a state of peace and quiet
3. a disposition free from stress or emotion

Then I looked in a thesaurus:

tranquil; calmness; composure, restful, serenity, repose

Then I did a Google search and noted some of the pages that seemed most relevant.

The BBC page had a nice picture of bluebells – which reminded me of the picture I took at the crop in April outside the villa where there were beautiful bluebells… and that made me think of other tranquil places where I had taken pictures. And whenever I look at those pictures I feel more tranquil.

My final journalling reads:

An untroubled state
free from disturbances
A state of peace and quiet
Repose
A disposition free from stress or emotion
Serenity, calm, composure, equanimity
Ataraxia - peace of mind
A state I crave...
