Scenes From the Front Porch

The gentle rains of spring smell sweet from a cozy adirondack chair on an antiquated front porch. Yellow jonquils beckon for the warm sun and greet the neighbors with shiny smiles. Frosted glasses of lemonade elude to the breezy days of summer. As the warm days approach, baskets appear with blooming impatiens and children romp through the yards in playful games. As the sun sets earlier each day, the cool days of fall appear with pots of brazen mums and the trees golden leaves drift to the ground. The children return to tumble in the lawns, landing in heaps of fallen leaves. When the leaves begin to disappear, a swept lawn waits for the big chill and layers of fresh fluffy snow. Sleds glide past with passengers of young and old. Signs of the holidays sprinkle and shine upon the eaves of the antiquated front porch...and the neighbors reminisce of the days past...enjoying the close-knit family of friends!

Superflux is Superfly!

Superflux! With a little "smoooooth" attitude this word just rolls off my tongue and begs to be said over and over again! That is, when I need to add a little superfly humor into my sometimes stressful day!

When I think of the word super I imagine something being a step above the ordinary, or in excess of the ordinary. The word flux brings to mind a flowing movement, a continuous change. Put those two words together and it makes for a superfly description of what occurs in my daily life. Whether it's work or leisure, I seem to experience a superflux of enjoyment when I can embrace the constant and sometimes excessive change that occurs in my life. This may seem a little superfluous in thought, after all, I may not be experiencing an abundance of joy but at least a smile blooms on my otherwise haggard day when I apply this glorious wordage...superflux! From complex business decisions to simple compounding chores, the process of getting things done goes a little "smooooother" when I can embrace these tides of change. So, I offer the idea of adding "superflux" to your vocabulary! Or, at least let it roll around in your mind like a colorful marble on a rather bumpy ride. Superflux is superfly!
