For week one as I promised, I shall be doing Vintage words. These words are no longer in use but still make a lot of sense. How about reviving them 🙂
Word: Apricity (n)
Origin: From the Latin aprīcitās, a verb which means basking in the sun.
Meaning: The warmth of the sun on a winter day.
Sentence: It was wonderful to experience the apricity after the long harsh winters.
This makes me want to talk about sun exposure. A lot of cases I hear there days where Vit D deficiency is the key contributor to a person’s ill health. However there is always a right/optimal level of sun that one muse get.
So get those walking shoes/hammocks/rocking chairs out and get some sun.

Looks like I might find some good Scrabble words here.
Thanks Denise 🙂
What a great theme, and what an appropriate word. I just home the apricity continues.
Amen to that 🙂 However its going to rain soon where I live.
What a lovely word. I have a Vitamin D deficiency and was taken aback when my doctor said I had to sit in the sun for 30 minutes a day. After all that publicity about how bad sun was for you.
Oh Boy… hope you are keeping well now 🙂

Any excuse to sit and soak up some sun.
I was just thinking how I need to start vacationing abroad to get that healthy feel. In my home country the winters are so dark that people end up so depressed.
We need to encourage the sun to shine more! (Or people to take more Vit D)
Love the Vintage words, and good luck with the challenge !
Thank you Miss Bates 🙂
Hi Pinksocks – I am going to love your first week, I can feel that same apricity today. (Just thought I’d point a typo – muse instead of must) all the best Reflex Reactions
Thanks for that 🙂 🙂
This is soooo relevant to me. I was diagnosed with Vit D deficiency a bit earlier this year and I also suffer from sensitive skin. Trying to strike a balance between the two. Great post. Educatiional and fun 🙂
Hope you are better now 🙂
Love this idea of vintage words!! I wrote about my experiences with Vit D deficiency last week, if you want to check it out: http://www.fibroworks.com
I would love to read it. Thanks for stopping by
That’s a nice and warm word. Feeling the Sun on the face during winters is one of the best feelings.
True that
Great idea for a theme. I love “apricity”!
Thanks Marie 🙂
That’s a nice warm word for a cool theme! It’s unbelievable but even kids these days suffer from Vit D deficiency.
