Emotion
Write One word – an emotion that sums up how you are feeling right now.
One word.
Feel free to use the thesaurus and come up with a weird and wonderful word to describe your emotion.
Feel free to share the link to one of your recent posts if it relates to how you are feeling.
Then, using one sentence explain why you are feeling that emotion – only if you want to and you can.
If you don’t know why, write that too.
I’m going to use these single words to create a community word graphic.
The aim is to create a series of these graphics with different themes and place in a central location.
More to come when I don’t have #Thunderbrain.

Overdrive – I wanna scream and tell the world how giggly happy this makes me feel. I’ve been ‘paralyzed’ and indifferent for so long that the faintest hint of emotion sends me on overdrive.

This is an awesome idea. Lovely to be part of it. 🙂
One word: zoetic
Flipped to that in the thesaurus just above “death”–lol– figured I would go half-full instead of half empty! The oed does not claim that word, though, so if you’d like to go with “zoic,” that works, too — means something like, “showing signs of life” — nice word for a 4-day weekend in which I’m going to make breakfast for the little ones then try to get the poetry manuscript brushed up and sent off to another contest! Hey, thank you for following — nice to meet you! Off to “follow” back!
And, lol, I think I missed the one-word emotion boat — but look forward to the next word.
Lol you missed that one, however the most recent post is another one word wonder activity, this time, you are asked to describe your experience with ‘love’…. Single word with explanation if you like…
This is a GREAT word #Zoetic – I love it, I am very tempted to use it in the current One Word Wonder – https://misslouella.wordpress.com/2014/02/13/one-word-wonder-2-love/
Love it if you would go and find a great word as exciting as this one for that graphic 🙂 All contributors get acknowledged and pinged in the final result 🙂

Optimistic. I know I’ve got a sort of acerbic, self-effacing sense of humor, but the fact of the matter is that I’ve been feeling lots of optimism lately. I’m a “late bloomer” in life and starting a new career, but amazingly stuff is falling into place (knock on formica), and I’m not playing whack-a-mole with my life. Feels pretty nice. Oh watch now, I’ll die.
#YayBananas @ Optimistic – Great word!
Don’t tempt murphys law.. race outside and rub yourself on some trees *wood* lol
and watch out for splinters!!
hahaha!
🙂
Discombobulated.
Whoa! *Copies that and races off to the google thingy*
Let me know what it says – being discombobulated I’m not sure! 🙂
*blank stares*
I closed the window and now I am discombobulated too!
🙂
Great word! It would have been awesome to have gone into the graphic, though it has just been finished (yesterday) – https://misslouella.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/team-create-one-word-wonder-1-emotions/
Make sure you come by with another awesome one so it can be included next time! (I’m a good stalker, I’ll remind you).. lol

Very nice blog! I’m glad you stopped by mine so I could find you. I had something similar on my FB page the other day… LOL.. but I took it down after 2 days. I think mine actually said use one word to describe your life…. My answer: Complicated… 😀 Sorry I can’t go into why right now.
#Complicated – great word Keli. I think it describes the lives of almost all of us at some stage or another (If not all the time, behind the scenes)

anxious.
Not like super anxious, just that slight oh dang, I’ve done something bad feeling.
But I feel OK too, so maybe ‘moody’
Wait, wait. i got a better one. I’m ‘hashtaggy.’

Hello Miss Lou, I’m a bit late to this word-game-party! (love word games – what a great idea)
My word is ‘flippant’ which I have, at times, to a fault 🙂

Today I am hopeful, Lou. So much so I’ll say it twice. Hopeful.
#Hopeful – it makes me smile to say that this has been a popular word during this activity 🙂
Thanks for dropping by and participating mark 🙂

despondent today but tomorrow will be better!
#Despondent is a great addition to the Graphic and #YayBananas for looking forward to a better day eh!
(Bananas is my families #Optimistic theme in life right now – ever since seeing the minion clip with their Banana addiction we say it to just about everything – even the crap stuff.. lol)

I usually feel very connected to my environment and to people. The best way to explain and the realization came when I suddenly felt a connection again for a slight moment. It was an emotional impact. It made me realize how off centre I have been lately, and how my focus was completely askew. In essence it’s affected, my creativity and even my sleep.
Reblogged this on Miss Lou Aquiring Lore.
Drained- not because it’s late, but because it’s been a testing time health wise, which is getting better but it still leaves a bit of a mark 🙂
#Drained – I know what you mean.. can be a little exhausting at times.. and with your health ailments it’s expect occasionally!

Working long hours over the last week.
I’m good, though tired and sometimes frazzled, trying to ensure all things in the home are done. I’m looking to reduce hours I am working.
How many hours have you been working?! Must have been rather a lot
over the weekend, 24, and about 4 hours sleep.. lol
I snapped out of it last night when I began to get so anxious I could not even go to sleep despite KNOWING I was tired and needed to.
Eventually had a really warm bath, put on some Hayley Smiles and passed out – I fell asleep at about 5PM and slept all the way through until 1am – a good eight hours.. stayed up for 2 hours organised lunches and cleaning up kitchen then back to bed for another 3…
Still have a few sleep credits to catch up on though 🙂
Deffo, cash them in when you can! Those sleep tokens are worth there weight in gold 🙂
I clearly haven’t as I’m still up at 3am lol
Xx
oh geez!! Why am I talking to you, I’m encouraging bad behaviour.. lol
*Points* get to bed you! lol
Haha I’m old enough to be irresponsible lol (27) and talking to you is worth the extra time before sleep 🙂
*snorks*
Do you at least get a sleep in?
Geez lol couple if days in bed that’ll help sort you out 🙂
X
Usually lol although I could do with a couple of horse tranquillisers to aid the sleep patterns!
Xx
awwwww.. LOLOLOLOL *double Snorks*
Preferably through injection or pill rather than being shot by a dart, know what I mean? 😉

Oh hope you feel better soon 🙂

#Hopeful. Last year felt like bad luck was chasing me. Lost my father to cancer, my former father in law died, lost my job, got injured and could not run etc. This year started off great, I received many positive comments on my blog, more people.read my blog, I am doing workouts to strengthen my body and I can run again. Next thing a new job and more positive vibes! 🙂
Great question Miss Lou 😉
Great word Jehan! – It sounds like you went through a pretty tough time last year with so much happening, I’m sorry for the pain you’ve experienced.
It sounds like your spirits are up somewhat now and I really encourage you to keep working at it – sometimes we have to have the hard bits to appreciate the good bits that much more.
Thank you for dropping by and adding a word, much appreciated!

Morning (in the Netherlands it is morning). Thanks for your reply ML. It was a really painful year, but I also learned so much. It is not only saying goodbye to people who are not there for you. It was a big hello to people who care about you, most from people I hardly knew at that time. Received so much love, learned that I’m so much stronger than I thought and maybe my biggest lesson: there is more to life than work. I was a huge workaholic. (Image how I felt without the Communication Professional role. 😉 ) I rediscovered my passion for writing. Things will look up again.
@The others: It’s great to read about your “one word” too!
Chuffed. I managed to make some energy bars for Commando’s marathon training. He tried one out today and said they worked. Just posted the recioe if you’re interested. http://www.fatgirlslimblog.co.uk/?p=16949

I can’t pick one of anything–one color, one place, one emotion. life is or I am to multiple-dimensional for “one.” 😉
Acceptance…
This past week I’ve experienced the most stress I have ever felt in my life. Moving house, having to pay for things I should have paid for previously and having to sit next to the most irritating person at work. I think reaching crescendo levels of anxiety can create the adverse affect. Accepting that there are things I just cannot make happen or change made me feel strangely calm. My attitude is that of defiance, whatever happens happens. I have to accept my mistakes (God knows I’ve made a lot of them) and take responsibility for my actions. Wear my big girl panties and move it along already – thats what I say Miss Lou
Excited- because I’m hosting a Super Bowl party for the first time tomorrow and I’m actually prepared! Haha! See, I have all my snacks planned-

Deflated
– spent the last few days hanging out under the weather.
Ambivalent
Last week went well both as a blogger and a student; got some likes, got some followers and found some to follow and I topped in a test, only guy with 100% score 🙂 Something happened that I’m upset and angry about and I’m writing about it now; it’ll be a few days before I post it and I may or may not send it to you before posting.
If it’s not too late then I’ll comment the link in tthis thread.
Although I follow many blogs, I regularly read posts of a few no matter how busy I am. I read all but yours and was thinking it’s been a long time since you posted (generally if I don’t see these peoples’ latest posts for more than, let’s say, 48 hours, I think why hasn’t she/he posted yet, is everything alright?) and I found this post. This also adds to the happiness.

Great word. I’ve posted more posts in the last 10 days than I have in 10 months… Lol check out my archives!
Thank you for commenting 🙂 very happy to add your word to the graphic 🙂
ML

I’ve been reading each one of your posts since the day I followed. I’ll need the archives if I don’t open wordpress for somedays for some reason.
I see! Usually I only post once every 3 or 4 weeks, though recently have picked up frequency, thank you very much for taking the time.
Friends, or blogging buddies as you say, are there to give their most precious thing, time.
Guess I went too deep. LOL 😛
No, I agree – time is very previous and the way we spend it says alot about our motivations.
Thank you for taking the time to comment here 🙂

Ah, that feels good 🙂

Fresh 🙂
#Fresh – Great word!
Grateful – thinking about all of the people I am happy to have in my life that help me through the tough times, and all of the things I am proud of.
#Grateful – Beautiful word. It is sometimes very difficult for us to look around and identify those thing we are truly blessed to have. When things get difficult and we can feel overwhelmed it really helps to have this ability 🙂 thanks for sharing.

Reblogged this on 2l2phant.
Thanks, #Morewords to add to our #TeamEffort
Hopeful – the world needs nothing less.
#Hopeful – A really awesome word and I agree, the world does need that.. #Constantly
Anxious (the good kind). I’m kinda dancing between making a proper start to the second play of my course, and not making a proper start. So I’m knitting instead 🙂
#YayBananas for good anxious!! Much better than the bad anxious! Hmm are you going to take picture of that knitting so we can see?
Haha, yay bananas indeed! Funnily enough, I had planned tomorrow’s post involving something vaguely craft-related… 🙂 I might actually make the craft thing a series, because I kinda have a lot I’ve either made in the last few months, or making. Decisions decisions…
A craft series would be #Awesome. I totally encourage you!
Some of your posts could even be journeys – kinda like taking us through the creation experience with you as you go from start to finish yea?
Irritable. I wish I wasn’t and I’m not sure entirely why I am. Perhaps it’s because I just am an irritable person (I have been for many years) or maybe my new medication is making me especially sensitive. X
It’s amazing the effect that medication can have on the way we feel!!
I find exercise helps with anxiety, though there are times that nothing seems to help…
Edgy
1. nervously irritable; impatient and anxious.
2. sharp-edged; sharply defined, as outlines.
#Edgy – that would definitely be my word sometimes too! Any relief in sight?
I hope so lol 🙂 Just need to get out of the house!
Hopefully that will happen sooner than later eh!

#Drained – totally know how it is to feel that at times! What do you do in your work?

Stressed.
I have so much going on in my life right now and I’m not sure how to handle any of it.
I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so overwhelmed.
Take some comfort in the fact that that feeling won’t last forever – change is inevitable…
When I am feeling this way, which happens sometimes, I make a list of what needs to be done to make the situation better and try to tackle one thing at a time.

Good plan 🙂
🙂 Are things feeling a little better today?
ML
Yes thanks.

Tired.
Why? I’ve been up since 3a.m., hiked into the mountains to set up on an exposed ledge, braving 30-50 mile per hour winds in order to make a photograph. 😀
#Tired and the tale of how you got there #Amazing!
The “best” part, the winds were blowing in excess of 55 mph, with much higher gusts, directly into our faces. Even if we fell off the ledge, we’d simply be blown right back on 😛
LOL!! I think I probably would have fainted.
At least the wind would have blown you back towards the mountain and kept you from taking a much further tumble.
Right! Lol
What can I say, I’m a glass half full kind of guy 😉
I like glasses that are half full! Lol especially if the alternative is me having a flat face and broken bones at the bottom of some big mountain!
Yea, there is that.
*nods, serious face*
Love. Four letters say it all.
#Love is a GREAT word!!
Dubious
Hmmmm, what could happen that might help said dubious feeling? Anything?
I’ve become a bit of a I’ll believe it when I see it or rather see him,kinda gal
Ahhhh!! Funny how that word is used so frequently in relationship s…. Defined or not. #MenvsMan
Yeah, funny

Yeah I feel ya

My wife got laid off yesterday.
Sorry to hear Jeff.Thank you for sharing. I hope things turn around for you guys with some welcome news in the future…
Relaxed – We have completed all the work for a large project.
#Relaxed – Great way to feel Dan, is the project completed one from work or the beautiful coffee table you worked on with your daughter?
Work. Preparing for a series of meetings, including our company Annual meeting. Coffee tables are both done. Faith’s is the one you saw. I wrote about mine earlier http://nofacilities.com/2013/06/23/listening-to-a-slab-of-wood/ I’m not sure what the emotion is after finishing a woodworking project – I guess ‘satisfaction’ – for a one work answer, this was a tough question.
I remember that one, I left a comment or 2 on the post – we had a mini chat about it.. (Thanks for taking the time)
You guys a mini marvel team 🙂
ML
I’m sorry they I missed that. I felt bad when I reread that conversation.
No Dan!! No bother lol.. As soon as I saw the coffee table I had instant reboot of the memory because it was so unique. 🙂 It was a good reflection to see it again.
P.s: The rest of my household loves it too!
