A Good Egg

I like to make up words.  My husband likes to make up words.  I am not sure why-maybe because it is fun, maybe because there are some things, people, places that defy a normal definition, so I get to make up one.

A friend of mine the other day said, “You are the only person I know who makes up words”.

 “Really?”  I thought everyone did that.

So anyhoo (a made-up word?!) the made-up word for today is: “Good Egg”.

Who or what  is a good egg?  First off, it is a who.  A good egg is someone you could describe as loyal, true, solid, stable- a stalwart character.  Isn't that a great word that nobody uses anymore.

Stalwart means: strong and brave; valiant, firm, steadfast, or uncompromising

Good eggs are those folks you can count on to come through in the crisis. The steady-eddy.  The gal you want on your team.  The friend who supports you in the clutch.  Not flashy.

I want those attributes. I want good eggs for my  friends, friends for my kids, teachers, co-workers, neighbors,  and I want to be a good egg.  How can you be a good egg to someone today?  

Or maybe you can  look around you and see who the good eggs in your life are and tell them.  

“You are a good egg, and I appreciate you.”

 Wouldn’t that be a big sursee you could give away  today for free?
