A word for a day

Gorgonize  -
verb
: to have a paralyzing or mesmerizing effect on : stupefy, petrify
 
In Greek mythology, the Gorgons (from the Greek adjective "gorgos," meaning "terrifying") were commonly depicted as three female monsters who had snakes for hair and the ability to turn anyone who looked at them into stone. The most notorious of the three was Medusa; when she was slain by the hero Perseus, her severed head retained the power of turning anyone who looked on it to stone. In modern parlance, to gorgonize someone is to make him or her feel (metaphorically) petrified, usually through an intimidating glance or gaze.

Thought for the day :
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time its like you’re giving the portion of your life that you can never bring back .

This is my attempt to write and read something useful each day
