Once every month in 2023 we will have a WORD STUDY for you. You will need a journal and pen to complete it. It can be done through the week or in a couple of days. You can do it on your own or with a group of friends

The word we are going to study this week is morning.

For me, each morning reminds me of a fresh start, a new beginning and a fresh clean page. I love looking out through the window as the dawn breaks sipping my hot tea. I listen to the birds and enjoy their music!

Day 1

Find the dictionary meaning of the word and if you know other languages write the word in those languages too.
