Alternatives for Because

Alternatives is a recurring post in which I give synonyms for an over used word. Click on the tab above for a "complete" list of over used words. 

Depending on how you use it, this list may come in handy for finding another way to say the same thing.

Today's word is:  Because


Because is such a handy word. It reeks of excuse. I mean, didn't Adam say to God, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid BECAUSE I was naked; so I hid."

"By virtue of the fact that I was naked, I was afraid and hid."
"Considering that I was naked, I was afraid and hid."
"Thanks to being naked, I was afraid and hid." (hee, hee, hee.)

And now, BECAUSE the harmonies are delicious and the words so simple and beautiful, and BECAUSE it is Valentine's Day, I leave you with BECAUSE by The Beatles.

However because the video contain content from Sony ATV Publishing, it's restricted from playback on certain sites. Like my blog so you will have to go HERE to listen.

I do hope you will pause for the 2 minutes and 50 seconds it takes to listen to this song and relax into the ahhhhhhhhhhs. It's from me to you.
