Well, I have to get myself together and remember how to do a Work Day, dear readers, so this is going to be a short post.
I think. We shall see, won’t we?
So, the topic is “Chilling.”
Here’s my first definition of that word. And, you know what? For the first time since I started this blog, I am NOT going to consult any other source — expert, on-line, or otherwise — about the “right” words to define or explain. I’m just going to trust that I can make up a definition that’s good enough:
Chilling
(verb form)
Being cool, letting go of concerns.
Antonym: Worrying
Honestly, that is something that I am working on, every single moment. Like now. With every word I write. And in the spaces between the words and the paragraphs, too.
That helps.
Let’s see if I have any pictures, to illustrate that use of the word “Chilling”.
I MUST have some within easy reach — I just got back from six days in Panama, people!
Here are some photos that fit the bill (although I am making some assumptions about other people’s states of mind):
Now, I wanted to include other definitions, including these:
Chilling
(adjective)
Cold, creating a feeling of coldness.
Antonym: Warming
.
Chilling
(adjective)
Scary, frightening, terrifying
Antonym: Reassuring
.
… but I need to end this post, and return to work.
I’m glad I spent more time, this morning, on that first definition of “Chilling.”
Thanks to the people of Boquete, Panama — residents and visitors — and to you — of course! — for visiting here today.
It looks hot – no wonder you want to be ‘chilling”.

Hi, Susan! Because this was a town up in the mountains, it was NOT hot. Nice breeze, low humidity, actually pretty cool — too “chilling” for some people who expected a lot of heat. Just right for me. And …. no bugs!
Sounds perfect to me… I’d be very happy ‘chilling’ there. I’m a cool chick 🙂
Blessings,

That’s obvious, Susan!
I have been waiting for your first warming photo of that Panama music fest you alluded to before and during your trip. And you served it up, chilled, today. Thank you, Ann.
You are most welcome, Mark. Thanks for this just-right comment.
Love the photos – welcome back!
Thanks, Diana! Love to see you here.
Safe and sound, and on the (frozen) ground.
Yes, indeed, Jeff. Thanks for this extremely cool comment.
Yes, welcome back — I’m glad to be able to spend some time chilling with you and your memories of your trip! Cool!
It’s always the coolest to spend time with you, Louise.
Love the photos, even though climbing the wall might be a little closer to the adjective rather than the verb 🙂
It all depends upon your perspective, doesn’t it? Thanks so much, Anne!
Yes it does, I would have loved to climb the wall 🙂 it was just my lame try of being “funny”, that didn’t come trough, guess it don’t help I forgot some of the ” ” signs and a big fat smile at the end, sorry sometimes I foul up my translating to English, it sounded good in my head 🙂
It sounded good in my head, also, Anne. I loved your comment (and this second one from you, too).
Really Ann? The first thing I thought of when I saw “chilling” was looking out my window and seeing snow falling – again!! – oh, and shoveling ice and snow in my sneakers (and Panama hat 🙂 to get my car out of the parking lot Monday night at Logan Express!! The story can be told so many different ways…
Truer words have never been spoken, Peggy. Thanks, in so many ways.
Hi Ann, this is Alok from Los Establos. I noticed the picture of the 4 of us (Jyoti, Sanjay, Anju & Alok) in your Chilling section, and of course Sanjay’s & Jyoti’s picture on your 1st cup of coffee:) Very nice meeting you and hope you had a safe journey back home. We are missing Panama as the snow still flies in Michigan!
Hi, Alok! Great to see you here. I hope you all are staying warm.
I like to ‘chill’ with friends and family, too! Your photos truly represent relaxation and happiness, too! Smiles, robin
I’m so glad you saw all that, Robin! Thanks for the visit and the smiles.
