I love a good cup of coffee, a good night's sleep or a good book. Sometimes, we try to so hard to be superlative that everything is over the top. Even God called his creation good. I would say that's good enough.<BR/><BR/>Debbie G.The Googeg'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03074676892659798972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-89291131165012407232008-11-18T17:05:00.000-08:002008-11-18T17:05:00.000-08:00kindhearted - because it makes me get the warm 'n fuzzies! :)Elsiehttp://noncents.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-15850622292355309932008-11-18T13:35:00.000-08:002008-11-18T13:35:00.000-08:00I'm going to have to go with "exceptional."Emilyhttp://momminitup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681683532525639609.post-42818706129443381972008-11-18T11:16:00.000-08:002008-11-18T11:16:00.000-08:00I'm entering on behalf of my son who has been asking for a thesaurus for his writing assignments.
