Hello My Dear Darling Friends!
Happy February! This week is flying by and I have no complaints. I could stand to study more, but that is what the weekend is for, right? Also, I need to start waking up earlier too. Just some notes to myself…
Workout of the Day: Pull Workout
*Complete each exercise 5 x 5 times
- Superman
- 1-arm Dumbbell Row (on all 4’s)
- Seated Rows
- Wide-grip Lat Pull-Down
- Bicep Curls
- Back Bends (10 of them)
Word of the Day:
largesse– noun
- Liberal giving (as of money) to or as if to an inferior.
- Generosity.
I don’t know, if you ask me those 2 definitions almost seem contradictory. The first one sounds like the money is given begrudgingly. Generosity just seems more altruistic to me. This word does sound pretty fancy. I am not sure how I feel about it and I don’t think I am going to use it in conversation. Maybe hangman…
The end of January has come and gone and now we are starting a new month. This is a good time to check in. How are you doing with your fitness goals and goals in general? I think my fitness routine is helping me hold my life together. It has been something for me to consistently look forward to and I am enjoying the process!
I would like to do a better job of phoning in my nutrition and waking up earlier. I better start studying now. I hope you will have a lovely rest of your day!

I am starting to look forward to your word of the day and hope to see more of your posts
And with largesse – I get what you mean by the way the first definition sounds – but I think the word inferior is problematic –
That word does have a cold vibe to the giving – like pity almost
But I think “inferior” was a poor word choice here
This is liberal giving ((from plenty- yet still effort because sometimes those with a lot cannot be generous as they get tight and worried and collect more money))
But largesse is an ultimate giver –
One who considers needs of others and not to impress or make his own way better – but because there is need
That is my take at least
I am so happy that you share my love of learning new words. I started writing these posts because I wanted to make sure I was still exercising my body and my brain. I agree. Inferior is a problematic word when it comes to this definition. Largesse does have a cold feeling to it almost like the word “nonchalant.” I prefer the idea of an ultimate giver. Thanks for sharing your take on the word! I will keep learning and sharing new words!
