To all who uplift, a hearty thank you!

    so why do we dwell on those who do not lift us up? I will have to use this as my new mantra and ignore all the petty bad stuff.

      OK, my young friend, I’ll bite. What does “Word!” mean in old-person-speak? I hear young people using it and I think it means something along the lines of “I agree” but even if so, I don’t know how “Word!” became short-hand for “I agree”. Please enlighten me young wise one!
