Go For It!

~ Christine Goodnough

The Ragtag Daily Prompt this morning is GO.

“To be or not to be?” might be the pertinent question of life, but it’s one we’ve never debated at our house. “To go or not to go?” frequently comes up.

For example, today my husband wants to go to the city, but the thermometer reads -33 C. “To stay home where it’s warm or to go out in the extreme cold and risk freezing my nose?” That is the question — and the answer isn’t hard to guess. 🙂

Interestingly, the post that appeared in my In-Box right after this one was the poem “FLY”, by Bill at The Write Idea. In a flash my mind jumped to phrase, “Go fly a kite.” Common when I was young, it’s probably considered antique by now.

GO is a basic word, yet my dictionary has over a whole page of variations in meaning as well as idioms formed with GO. Makes me think of a mother duck with her bunch of offspring trailing after.

Get the go-ahead
Go back on…
From the word go
From the get-go
Go great guns
Go out with
Going together
Go off in a huff
Go for it!

Nice chatting with you. Now I’d best get going…

      2. If you want to know when something’s antique, ask a 20-something. Back in the 90s I said something about Frank Sinatra and a twenty-year-old listener said, “Who?” She’d never heard of him. I felt quite dated. 😉

      3. Yea, I get it. Yet my own children know full well who Sinatra is. My oldest girl is into music that predates even my birth. Perhaps it’s something that’s aquired with age. When I was twenty… no, I was into the Blues, and that originates way-way back.
