If you’re in a beach house Charleston, good call. After all that’s been going on in the world… well, it’s been an emotional couple of weeks.
It seems like there has been so much sadness in the news. Then this past week, on my birthday no less, we come upon the first anniversary of the Mother Emmanuel tragedy.
As much as I like to follow the headlines, after a while it takes a bit of a toll. More often than not, it’s something negative popping up with a jarring alert tone on the phone.
If you’re here in one of our rental homes South Carolina, be it a luxury house on Isle of Palms or a Folly Beach house Charleston, it’s a good chance to decompress, relax, and maybe unplug for a little while.
I do believe it's time for something a bit UPlifting.
This came through an email last year, and it struck me how such a little word can pack a lot of punch. It’s….
The power of UP in a beach house Charleston...
the power of being UP in a beach house Charleston
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP , and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. We look UP beach house rentals Charleston SC on the internet, when searching for the perfect Charleston beach house like one of Exclusive Properties’ Isle of Palms vacation rentals. You’d better call us UP early or else you’ll find our luxury beach house rentals SC all booked UP!
At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP . When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for a while, things dry UP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP!
Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing
you do at night?
U
P !
Did that one crack you UP ?
See how many you can come UP with.
“What’s UP ?!”
