Word of the Day: March 2

Idyllic: extremely happy, peaceful, or picturesque

This being a very cold and windy day in Pennsylvania, I chose a word that would insight the idea of an island. When I hear the word idyllic, I see a vibrant blue sky, hear the calm breeze in a pair of palm trees, and feel the warm sun on my skin as it mixes with the cool sting of a mojito on my tongue. In essence, I picture pure bliss, which I feel is exactly what this word wants me to feel.

Of course, this word can also be used to describe an event, not just a tropical locale.

Here is an example of how to use it:

As Sandra basked in the amber afternoon glow, she could not help but think that this place, this exclusive resort, was perfectly idyllic. It was flawless and beautiful, welcoming and warm - not a far cry from her newly found companion.

I suggest you take this word poolside and bring the SPF 45, because you're going to want to get to know it better.
