Today's Word of the Day: Dither

A Dither (DITH-er) - from the Middle English - is a state of flustered confusion, excitement, or fear.

Example: "Practice easing your way along. Don't get het up or in a dither. Do your best; take it as it comes. You can handle anything if you think you can. Just keep your cool and your sense of humor."
