About a week or two ago, I was greeted with a push notification on one of the school's iPads - a push notification from the Dictionary App. Word of the day - Higgledy-Piggledy! Now, those that know me, know I'm a word junkie and this one struck me on a number of levels.
1 - I loved the way it looked, so similar and friendly with it's curvy Gs sandwiched in the middle. It looked plump and happy - comfortable.
2 - I loved the way it sounded aloud - almost gigglely - somewhat Seussical married to a nursery rhyme. In fact, when I spoke it, I heard myself chuckle. I'm all about repetition of sounds and Higgledy-Piggledy hit the proverbial spot!
3 - I loved the definition - whoa! Wait a minute - I loved the definition? Who in their right mind loves when things are in a state of confusion or are jumbled? Who loves living in a disorderly manner? Me!
It hit me right then and there - my life is Higgledy-Piggledy! What a plump, happy, comfortable, Seussical married to nursery rhyme way to describe my wonderful day to day life. Because among the higgledy-piggledy day to day life I live, I have the privilege of hearing my little nutter butter read to me in the car as we drive to and fro; I get to watch my healthly and strong kiddos run up and down sports fields while I cheer them along; I get to see the beautiful progress of a child's smile who was once missing an entire tooth and I'm blessed to be able to provide this for her; I get to watch my older two kiddos assist their dad with car repairs and see how they are not only building car knowledge but also lasting memories of time with him.
Higgledy- Piggledy? You bet! I'll take it any day of the week!
