* = words I have newly created :)
Thanks to all the people who have contributed new words. I am sorry but it has proven impractical for me to name them all. A special thanks, though to Bob Myrick at the University of Florida. His list of 50 or so words was the first feeling words list I ever saw, or at least paid any attention to! It was in a book called Caring and Sharing: Becoming a Peer Facilitator. A book I recommend. (My notes from the book)
