Word of the Day: March 15

Quixotic: foolishly impractical pursuits, especially regarding romantic ventures or chivalrous actions

Today I am in love with love. I am celebrating my third anniversary with my other half. His name is Bill, and I love him dearly.

Perhaps I am alone in this, but I am always in awe of how love can beat the odds. I grew up in a divorced family and have seen heartbreaks triumph over happiness enough times to cause an irreversible callous on my heart. Thankfully, that has not happened yet and I hope it never does. I am thankful every day for my relationship and a person who wants to work as a team with me, but I still can't shake my belief that love, in and of itself, seems very irrational. Yet whether I believe it is rational or not, the love perseveres. It is in those feelings that this word builds its home, where it stands strong against the nay-sayers and rough winds that come to destroy its progress. I chose this word today because it laughs in the face of statistics and declares that "Love is enough."

Here is an example of how to use this starry-eyed word:

She was a princess and he was a pauper, but as he promised her the future and the world, quixotic vows etched a bond deeper than the ink on any marriage contract. 

I encourage you to get to know this word better, to let your hair down and enjoy each other's company. Take it on a spontaneous trip around the world or perhaps declare your unconditional love for it. Don't think, just do.
