Spinning that dial on one of those older combo locks on a house I was showing recently made me think of the old game of Scrabble where you had to make words from a handful of letters.
I immediately thought of four letter words. First, the expletive deleted words used by so many in frustrating situations, having a subprime loan reset to a higher interest rate, losing a sale, a Stager who doesn't get the deal, the last minute shot to win the game in basketball "doesn't" go in, missing the putt on the green, or hitting your thumb with the hammer. We've all been there. Hopefully profanity is not a mainstay of your vocabulary and you have a peaceful heart despite turbulent times.
But what if we were to look at other four letter words we could come up with.
I know for many women
SALE
might be the four letter word that comes to mind, and conjures up a place to enjoy some time.
For some who entirely work too many hours, maybe the key word here would be
REST
Other interesting four letter words might be
WORK
DIRT
GOLF
CAKE
KISS
FREE
Another twist on this little game would be four word sentences rather than just four letter words. When someone is having a hard day pick them up and uplift them with this pair of four words
I BELIEVE IN YOU.
and
YOU CAN DO IT.
And then there are some of the greatest four letter words
BEST
NICE
GOOD
KIND
LIFE
and my favorite...
HEARD ANY GOOD FOUR LETTER WORDS LATELY ?
