I love your words. Years ago when I was writing about trail running, I came across a marvellous word: “waywiser.” It’s an old-fashioned term for a pedometer or odometer (or a GPS) or anything that you can use to measure your progress. For me it was: “I used to think I could run 100 kilometres, but I’m waywiser now.”

Whenever I read you, the word 'refreshing' comes to mind.
