June Word of the Month:

KIND

adjective

(having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature.)

When I looked up he definition of my June word of the month, I had completely forgotten that is also a noun and has a completely different meaning than its adjective form.Throughout the day, that alternate meaning kept creeping into my thoughts.

a group of people or things having similar characteristics.

1.character; nature

What kind of person am I?

What kind of person do I want to be?

What kind of life do I want to lead?

What kind of legacy do I want to leave behind?

Before Googling the word I was focused on being kind. How do I want to treat others ? with kindness.How do I want to be treated? Also with kindness.

Now the noun form is haunting me.

Being kind is part of the kind of person I want to be. It is however only a part.

The whole thing has become a bit of a distraction. 

I have a lot to accomplish today and pondering the word kind and its meaning as well as significance not a productive way for me to spend my time today.

That's okay....I have the entire month to do that. 

For now it's time to get to work!
