"Ameliorant" probably really only refers to inanimate objects. But I still like it.kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206478948267638645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290422462334299251.post-77755681010425754462009-02-18T23:30:00.000-06:002009-02-18T23:30:00.000-06:00It wasn't exactly planned that way. An ameliorant...It wasn't <I>exactly</I> planned that way. An ameliorant is someone/something that ameliorates, or makes something better or more tolerable. <BR/><BR/>So I kind of liked the idea of being someone who makes things better, whether that's making life better for other people in the corporal works of mercy (feed the hungry, visit the lonely, etc.), or just making things more beautiful, fun, simpler, etc. in my own life. Plus, the fact that it has the word "rant" as a substring frees me up to do that every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>So around about New Year's I decided that <BR/>1)I didn't want to hear myself rant about random things that much. <BR/>2)A lot of the things I was pondering/might have included under the topic "making things better" was stuff that I didn't really want to share in a public forum.<BR/>3)I really wanted to be more intentional about doing crafty things. I just like it, and I think it has good effects on my outlook and behavior.<BR/><BR/>So, yep, this has turned into (mostly) a craft blog with the intention of prompting me to actually "make things better or more tolerable."kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206478948267638645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290422462334299251.post-83328016634494116592009-02-18T14:42:00.000-06:002009-02-18T14:42:00.000-06:00Yay for organization!

Is that what ameliorant means?<BR/><BR/>Also, I tagged you because I know you read the blog :) Hope you're doing well!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14334077947608793435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290422462334299251.post-61696229369802106382009-02-11T09:46:00.000-06:002009-02-11T09:46:00.000-06:00Kuddos to you!
