Mysteries

I remember taking a quiz in grammar school about the rosary. For some reason, when it came to the Sorrowful Mysteries, I wrote Sourful. The teacher was confounded, but kind. She chose to mark it as a spelling error instead of "incorrect." That memory popped into my head the other day. Sourful. Not a word, but it still has meaning...at least to me.

sorrowful (adj.): full of or marked by sorrow

I don't like the Sorrowful ones (they really are sour)... But even the Joyous and Glorious ones are rather sad.

No more sad stuff. My in-laws are here for the weekend. I can't take any more sadness! Ha-Ha!
