Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ Just recently I read an interesting article about words. The article spoke about how some words have totally changed their meaning over time. Like the word awful. It actually once meant “awe” “filled” nothing like it is used today. It made me start thinking about words, and how we use them. We’ll, anyway. ..Just thinking. .. This last week I’ve stepped it up a notch on my exercising.
