Ex-gratia
I went to Gal Holiday’s goodbye party and garage sale and spotted two Christmas tree ornaments with special meaning attached to each. I delivered one the other day and received a thank you that was two gifts in one: a word for the day – ex-gratia and the idea to sign up for the word a day email myself. What a wonderful way to start 2011! I sent a link to three friends so they could receive a word a day too.
Gratia was my second husband’s last name, the name I used for the five months we were married. So it is not without a big grin that I clicked on ex-gratia to see its meaning – out of kindness, or a favor.
