Word of the Week: a bookish meme hosted here on Mondays in which we share a word that we find entertaining, enlightening, edifying, or just plain fun to say! Share your own word on your blog, then help me grow the meme and come share it here on mine!

This week’s word may be one that’s familiar, but it seemed appropriate for Memorial Day.

Today is not a day for fireworks, parades, and cookouts. Today is a day to pause and remember the sacrifice made by brave men and women who believed in the freedom our country offers. We thank them for their service.
