YOLO
"YOLO is an acronym for "you only live once". Similar to carpe diem, it implies that one should enjoy life, even if that entails taking risks." WIKIPEDIA


ZIP
ZIP is an acronym for "zest in peace". It's just the opposite of RIP, it implies that one should enthusiastically enjoy life but not if it entails taking risks beyond pickleball. WEDIPEDIA

DruannB: That's an easy one Re-creation (recreation and/or recreate)

I love many of these and have written them down. I plan to write a book once I "Re...." And it will be more interesting that the dissertation I wrote on 18th century female playwright Hannah Cowley. Someone may actually read it. Thanks to you all.
