Zeitgeist - what does it mean?

Zeitgeist = is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the general cultural, intellectual, ethical, spiritual, and/or political climate within a nation or even specific groups, along with the general ambience, morals, sociocultural direction, and mood associated with an era.
I'm not really sure what that means exactly, or it might be that I am too tired to really read what those words say and mean! I'm going to take it to mean that right now is a good time to be where I am with my family, doing what we do and living life to the fullest! Hopefully that captures the spirit of the times in my house!

So Zeitgeist is the theme for Decembers NaBloPoMo. We'll see. . . I might have to use some of the daily thoughts for writing this month. . .
