Wayne’s Word – heartwarming

It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

Today’s word is HEARTWARMING.

Some words do exactly what they describe, and heartwarming is one of them. It is the kind of word that makes you feel like you are wrapped up in a cosy blanket with a cup of tea on a cold day. To call something heartwarming is to say that it gives you more than just comfort, it stirs a glow inside of you, reminding you that kindness, joy, and connection still exist in the world.

Today one of my students brought me a token to say thank you. I was extremely touched at their kindness and thoughtfulness, and it’s heartwarming to know that we can make a difference in someone’s life, no matter how big or small. Never underestimate the power of kindness!
