last october was a big month for me. actually, all of last year (2006) was a big year which led up to a big october. over the last year (2007), i have done a lot of learning and reflecting. and now that october has rolled around, i am doing more reflecting than usual.
so i found it very fitting that the word of the day for friday was retrospect. but instead of sharing with you retrospect, i have chosen to share retrospection.
retrospection \re-truh-'spek-shun\ noun
: the act or process or an instance of surveying the past
i have absolutely been having moments of retrospection and have been reassured that every decision i made, both good and bad, led me to where i am today. and even if i had to learn things the hard way, i am grateful that i have learned those things. and i am grateful for retrospection to remind me where i don't want to go again.

still here.
umm...yeah...so, everyday i have thought that i needed to post something on this blog. but then i just think..."oh, i'll do it tomorrow." well, a month of tomorrows has passed by and now i am ready to post.
over the last month i have received several fantastic words-of-the-day from my friend, and yours, merriam-webster and as much as i would like to include all of those words in this post (purely out of guilt), i will only include this one word:
quidnunc \KWID-nunk\ noun
: a person who seeks to know all the latest news or gossip : busybody
i feel like i have had an encounter of sorts with a quidnunc today. you see, my mom's best friend is someone that will go straight to the source (or in my case, the source's mother) when she hears or reads something about someone she knows.
through a random set of circumstances, this quidnunc came across my name and while having a conversation with my mother, said quidnunc decided to ask my mother about this situation. and since i am sometimes a bit orgulous, i had not shared anything about this situation with anyone in my family. and now, because of this quidnunc, everyone in my family is going to hear all about this situation.
so, today i don't like quidnuncs.
