Writings about Ataxia, being DeafBlind, family life. The best life can offer!


Craig‘s WD #22

Today’s Word of the Day is…

Anodyne

This adjective means not provoking dissent or inflaming the situation.

And the example I had was about the situation I discovered, becoming enraged. Instead of inflaming, I chose a different approach that was anodyne in nature; not challenging the situation. Both parties were content, an arrangement was achieved! Win-win!

That is why I like using text to communicate, I can edit the message before I send it! What starts as a Fuck Off text becomes a Friendly Exchange of positivity!

Gee, that really came together!

Thanks for reading!
