Being smitten is a word that is rare, and so is being smitten. Like being hit by cupid’s arrow, these are the signs that someone is smitten with you. No, we are not back in the 1920s, but I still believe there is something quite charming about someone being smitten with you. Smitten is a word that you might not have heard, and, if you have, you were probably visiting the assisted living community nearby. It is a word that is a combination between magical and absolutely delighted. Yes, smitten is a word that I am personally starting a campaign to bring back. So, what does smitten actually mean? It means that you are overcome or struck by instantaneous love. Like love at first sight, it doesn’t have to be first sight, and it doesn’t always have to go away. Smitten is something that is very special. It is that moment that you recount, well after you are old and married, as the moment when you just “knew” that they were the one for you. So, how can you tell if someone is smitten with you? ...

I attended a conference this week for writers in higher education. During one of the sessions, I sat next to a woman who intrigued me because she was wearing a device on her left wrist that looked foreign to me. In my tech job at work, I thought I’d seen everything. Devices are getting so much smaller these days and they do so much that it’s like walking around with an entire computer in your pocket. But this thing she had strapped to her wrist was something that really baffled me. This device looked like jewelry, but wasn’t quite a bracelet. It had symbols on it, but didn’t light up. I wondered if it was taking her pulse or counting her steps or something. Curiosity got the better of me, so I just blurted out “What’s that thing on your wrist?” “It’s a wristwatch.” “A wristwatch?
