The Daily Word for June 11, 2021

 

constellate - verb - to gather together in a cluster or group


Before the pandemic, who would have thought that we would all see constellating as a new-and-different phenomenon to be embraced as being that all-too-frequently-used word, "special"? No one. But we sure do now. More and more are trusting the idea of constellating, especially in safe places, such as outdoor restaurants, like the one I visited last night with four of my closest gal pals, whom I call "The Church Ladies," as we tend to frequent the same place of worship and have been for multitudinous years despite it not being particularly fashionable. (Did I actually write that long sentence? Whew!) Needless to mention, at the off-the-beaten path dining establishment, the tables were full, and the demand for excellent service, high. So high that the waiters were forced to move at a frenetic pace, making myriad mistakes along the way. Surely, they weren't accustomed to so many constellating on the same patio at the same time. Before the pandemic, who would have thought that waiters would have to get used to this degree of what was once considered commonplace?

Which brings me to a valid point: it is true that you never know what you've had until you have lost it. Yet if you are lucky enough, once you have regained it, you may not remember how to manage what you once managed, but once you do have it again, you should do tend to appreciate it. Does that make sense? Gosh, it's great just to constellate! 

Enjoy your Friday! Do some serious constellating.
