My first thoughts when I saw this thread was 'Serindipitous'. Earlier today, I came across the word in an old email. Seriously, my jaw dropped when I read your post.

Maybe I'm a little too sensitive, you think?

Well, since my word was already taken, I really love the word 'crucible'. I really appreciate the trials in my life right now, and instead of using negative words like 'problems', 'crap', or 'annoyances', I like to describe them as 'crucibles'. It makes them sound so much more important, as if my life is a divine chess game and everything is a test.

The word 'Ocean' is incredibly beautiful as well.

Maybe not the most beautiful, but I love the way the word lederhosen rolls around in your mouth. Say it. Out loud (so you get the benefit of the voiced phonemes). And concentrate on the way your mouth and tongue move as the word makes a circut around your mouth.
Lol, Hitler was a big fan of his Lederhosen

I also like Semper Fi - the meaning of it is beautiful. A bit abused though by modern day organisations.

For me it's definitely: Love

The meaning it has for me is very deep...

I think life and happiness is all about love:

Loving yourself and so wanting to make yourself happy and reach your dreams, because you know you deserve it.

Loving someone else deeply, so you learn to GIVE and make happy.

Loving your career and what you do for a living, so you enjoy all your day no matter when you're working or having fun.

Loving all other people in the world, so you enjoy being with people and helping them whenever you can and make a difference in their life.

And so on...

Now this is what I believe real, deep happiness is all about.

The most beautiful word I know is the word, "Yes"

It always pleases me when someone says a resounding yes...

psychologie [psi-col-o-zhay) (French for, of course, psychology)

Hearing it pronounced is just gorgeous. I love the sound of it. Then again, anything in French sounds beautiful, even the ordinary words.
