Craig‘s WD #51

Today’s Word of the Day is…

Assiduous

If you are assiduous, you have a great ass… haha!

No, sorry, I love poking fun here and there!

Assiduous means being thorough or persistent in your attempts.

An assiduous person would be someone who has a goal and does everything in their power to attain it; they are persistent.

My wife’s lifelong goal of becoming a licensed driver is a perfect example of assiduous: many years, countless driver instructors, many practical tests, until she finally got that Green N! Such an onerous task, showing perseverance, determination.

And, yes, she has a great ass!

So, if you are trying to climb a mountain, or become a published author (like me), or taking steps to stop smoking, and you persistently do what is needed to achieve that goal; then you are assiduously working towards whatever it is. You should achieve the goal you set out!
(The sexiness of your ass has nothing to do with your achievements, unless you are trying to land a thong modelling contract!)

Thanks for reading!
