eschew

eschew

(v)

(es-choo or uhs-choo)

"avoid,abstain from"

Again, a word I know the meaning of but don"t use. Why not? This is the crux of my challenge this year. Use a different word to say what I mean. 
Absorb it,understand it and use it.

Should I eschew blogging, mindless internet surfing and trivial websites and focus on other important life issues?

Should I eschew rich food and wine?
