Day 23: Fructuous

Fructuous - fruitful, productive

The very thing I'm striving to be. Today didn't start well, but it's been a hive of activity, mostly useful, since then. It feels good to be able to check things off the list as accomplished!

Stella was bored. The coffee shop just wasn't doing it for her today. Not to mention, Olympic hockey in the background wasn't exactly her background noise of choice. Even the endlessly repeating cycle of the new classics that usually played would have been an easier sell. But she still sat there, facing a computer screen that had gone past the point of yielding anything useful as she surfed through blogs, news and the buzz of hum drum chat that always served as a distraction. Her finger sliding dully across the touchpad, the cursor slipped up to bookmarked favorites. One last click, one final stop, one last daily dalliance. The page quickly loaded, and her eye traveled where she knew it would be. What she wasn't expecting was the accusation against the doldrums of the past hour staring back at her. There it was, the word of the day: fructuous - fruitful, productive. 'Oh well', she thought as she roughly shut her laptop, 'better late than never.'
