    I can't think of any words to go with October :(.

    Nor can I :rotfl:
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Well I was driving home & thought of optimistic October. A big thanks to Nargleblast for the great suggestion of the word oofy~~
    a 19th century word that was an informal term for rich or wealthy.

    So it is oofy optimistic October@s NSD thread.
    We are on the DFW challanges board.
