Mike, thank you again for another gentle and gentling read. I was initially worried that you’d take a Festive Season break and I’d miss out on this very thoughtful weekly dose of word-honey. 🙏
There’s suggestion that modern English “leaf” was etymologically influenced by Old English’s “lybb”, to mean “charm”, or “magic”. In a way, those leaves of smiles or chance encounters are the magic that makes life really great 🤲
Meg, I absolutely love this. Thanks for reading Le Weekly as always (even the extended Christmas edition), and thanks for sharing such a wholesome insight on Christmas morning! (P.S. Of all the trees in the world, you share some of the best, most pure “leaves” with those around you, and people appreciate all that you do).

For you, Clare, I will work any-and-all public holidays to share some gentle gentling 🍯💛
Loved this thanks Mike! From this day forward I will view the energy I give off as I go about my day as 'leaves'. Merry Christmas! 🍁
Thank you for this leaf, Jana! 🕊 Sending my best wishes to you and your lief, too 💛
