Favorite Word:
ambiguity
Years ago, I heard someone say, "Maturity is the ability to live with ambiguity." At the time, I thought that was the worst news I had ever heard; now I get it!
Least Favorite Word:
rigid
It describes not only the people with whom I have the greatest difficulty, but also how I myself was for a time (I hope in the past).
