O is for Open.
Such a positive word! When 'open' is added to other words we get such generosity: open-handed or, perhaps, hope for acceptance: open-minded. An open-ended question invites much more of a story. Staring open-mouthed in wonder is usually a good thing. Or you could be praised for openhearted sharing. An eye-opener may not always bring a smile but it is always enlightening.
When I see the word OPEN, I think opportunity, adventure, ideas, challenge, excitement : open doors or windows. There could even be treasure if I say: open sesame in the right place and time!
So much better than its opposite: closed. No happy feelings here at all for me.

I never thought about Open being a positive word but it is isn't it? I like the picture of the open neon word.
It does make you feel just a bit happy.
Well said.
I LOVE this post!!!!! I have been thinking of doing one just like it, but with a different word. But not as good as yours.
You are so very right, Stephanie. So right. blessings ~ tanna
It's true Stephanie!
And when we're open, all sorts of new experiences come our way. That's the part that I find exciting; I love trying new things!
Open is such a small word too, but so powerful.
Closed isn't always bad...like closing a cover on a great book. Sometimes I'm sad it's ended but it usually always leaves me grateful for the entertainment. Sometimes--and don't tell the Nursing Police--I'm more than thrilled to close certain cases.
See? Open is good, but closed can positive, too. It all depends on how you look at it.
I love how your mind works! So Optimistic.
