The Sexy, Sassy, Sensational letter S

Myndi Shafer gave us her list of top ten Beloved "B" words. Kathy Owen picked up the ball and Regurgitated a bunch of "R" words, Coleen Patrick shared her Love for the letter "L" and this whole thing was off and running.

I dropped a major hint to get my favorite letter – S. And I’ll warn ya up front that I’m gonna cheat and Sneak in a few extra "S" words.

1. Shenanigans
May we never be too old to cut up and horse around and just be Silly.


2. Self-Confidence

That "the Sky is the limit, I can do it" feeling!

(Phew, that's giving me vertigo!)


3. Sexy

Does this really need an explanation. I think not!

And this is a G-rated blog, So Sorry, no pic for this one.
　

4. Sassy

(Hubs took this one. Our friend's shoes she wore for her wedding.)

5. Strong

Not he-man strong, but emotionally strong. Although muscles aren’t a bad thing either.

I searched WANA Commons for a "muscle" picture. I got four shots of "muscle cars" and one other pic that I definitely am not putting on a G-rated blog! (Okay, I know you're all gonna abandon me and jump over there to see what I'm talking about, so if you promise to stick around until the end of this post, I'll give you the link.)


6. Sunsets

Especially at the Seashore!

7. Sensitive

My mom always told me, when I was a kid, "You’re just too sensitive. You’ve got to stop wearing your heart on your sleeve." As an adult, I came to realize that we don’t have a lot of control over this. It’s an innate thing. Runs in the family (ironically, in her family).

And it’s not a bad thing. I may feel more pain at times, but I also feel more pleasure and passion (for things like my writing; get your mind out of the gutter ;-)
　

8. Survivors

Which brings us back to Strong. People who face adversity and come out the other end in a better place.
　

9. Sweet
(Didn’t want to Stay too Serious for too long)

As in personality trait (which I Sadly lack but appreciate in others), and also as in cute little critters and luscious edibles, especially when chocolate is involved.

10. Sisterhood

Sorry, guys, I love you dearly, but there’s nothing quite like my female friends to keep me Sane!
　
11. (Not only do I cheat, I am also mathematically-challenged)
Shafer, as in one Stray-Sock-away-from-insanity Myndi. Which brings us back to Shenanigans!
　

What’s your favorite "S" word (keep it clean, now)?


As promised, here is the muscle picture

Also, Myndi just released her new book,  Shrilugh  I'm about halfway through it and it is great!
