For me, Word of the Day has always been felicitous on the days that I've chosen to read them.

ameliorate \uh-MEEL-yuh-rayt\, transitive verb:
1. To make better; to improve.
Scarce territories of my innards remain cold. I feel a chill stir like they are empty tundras left only for icicles and lichen. Under rare conditions would I walk across that terrain. Thinking to write of it makes me feel hated, and colder. I so would like to take a handful of light to it. I'd curse it and release the warmth like a plague. The ice would melt and the dwarf shrubs would grow to something greater.

There are other places that remain warm and I curse them as well. I wish them to feel discontent and furious, yet they feel humbly loving.
