2020 Week #30

I had a thought to recreate Elna Rae’s quote substituting a synonym for each word.  The difficulty I found was finding a good word to replace “where”.  The best I could come up was “the point”. 

What I conjured up were the following:

• The point that ambition builds, amazements bloom.
• The point that anticipation increases, surprises grow.
• The point that aspiration develops, wonderful things grow.
• The point that belief builds, blessings bloom.
• The point that faith builds, blessings flourish.
• The point that optimism builds, amazements bloom.

I think my favorite from “the point” group is:

I don’t really like substituting “the point” though. It sounds a bit awkward to me.

For some unknown reason, the Five Ws – who, what, when, where, and why – came to mind.  My thought then was to replace the “where” with “when”.  

My new rewrites were:

• When ambition builds, amazements bloom.
• When anticipation increases, surprises grow.
• When aspiration develops, wonderful things grow.
• When belief builds, blessings bloom.
• When faith builds, blessings flourish.
• When optimism builds, amazements bloom.

Out of the “when” group my favorite, similar to as above, is:

I think though that “HOPE” remains the most powerful key word for any of these sentences.  

When your hope continues to build, your blessings will bloom.

Hold on to your HOPE – your ambition / anticipation / aspiration / belief / faith / optimism. Hold on to it and see your blessings bloom!

Have a great week!
