Galavanting

I'm on a kick with g-words lately.

Galavanting is an interesting word. I guess the verb is Galavant, but I haven't seen it or heard it in except with the -ing on the end.

Galavant can also be spelled gallivant. I prefer the first.
It means to roam about in search of amusement or pleasure. The secondary meaning is to flirt. The closest synonym is wander. 

Instead of wandering, I hope you will all galavant to my workshop at Unity Church next Sunday.

Galavant over to the Gratitude Workshop! See Musinglog for details.

Thank YOU!

Glowering

If someone were glowering at you, I get the impression it would not be a good thing. The same goes for someone glaring at you.

glare v. to stare in an angry or fierce way.

glower v. to scowl or appear angry or sullen.

Sullen teenagers glare at their parents every day, which causes the parents to glower at them.

Benevolent

Here's a word I haven't heard in a long time, now I have heard it 3 times this week!

Benevolent - adj. charitable, generous, giving, well-meaning, and kindly.

Benevolence - n. state of being charitable, generous and giving.

Abundance comes to me when I am feeling benevolent!
