Hodgepodge

 

Since my brain is still getting in Blogging mode - I'm thankful for people like Joyce that can get me thinking... click on the pic above to go to her site & see everyone else joining along.

1. What's something you've learned from a younger person? 

I really couldnt narrow this down... working with younger people so many years in youth ministry - I have always said that they teach me as much I taught them. The sweet innocence of younger minds... & also the wisdom that some of them have looking into the future.  Dont ever think less of a younger person.

I'll add onto that that I have quite a few friends that are "younger" - younger than me anyways - & so many of them are such good examples teaching me how to be a better person in patience & loyalty & friendship.

Nope... never look down on a younger person.

2. Are you a perfectionist? Elaborate? 

I initially think, noooo - not me. & then I think of how I will go back & straighten things up in a stack... or move glasses or silverware around if its not stacked how i like it - or cringe when Hubby loads the dishwasher & its not how I like it... & let's not even talk about how towels are folded! OH BOYYYY!!! ..... so yeah, maybe I do have some perfectionist ways about me.

3. What makes you cringe? 

The use of the R-Word  .... I cant even type it without cringing so I wont.
I know people use it without really thinking about the meaning of it - as most curse words that are used, you dont really mean what that the definition is... its just "a word" - but knowing special needs children & adults, it just feels icky to me.

4. September is National Honey month...do you have bees and make your own? Know someone who has bees and they share? Your favorite thing made with honey? 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE & LOVE honey! I use it all the time - in tea, in my yogurt, on toast. Yumminess in a bottle.  
We have a local honey maker down the road from us... well, they're not the honey maker - the BEES are... they have quite a few hives set up & its so interesting watching them if you catch them out.  
They sell their honey at the local coffee shop up the road & it sells out.  I love that local honey can help with allergies - use it as a medical excuse to eat it!

5. Where is your happy place? 

I think most of you can probably know how I'm going to answer this ... all you have to do is look at most of my IG pictures & see too - Sitting on the back porch, with my dogs, with a coffee near by & a book in my hand.  Perfection.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I got my MRI appointment... its next week! & they told me they'll call me with results like a day or two later .... now... to prepare myself to get crammed in a tunnel for an hour. Breathe in... breathe out...whew! I hate those things!

OHHHH  -  I already KNOW I'm claustrophobic
