Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. I read here a list of 13 things you should do in June. I’m paraphrasing a little but basically…

Go on a road trip with your best friend, pick fresh strawberries, host a garden party, take a morning run, treat yourself to a flower bouquet, spend a whole day hiking, discover a new coffee shop, try a new ice cream flavor, read at least one book, visit a Farmer’s Market, make a swing for your home, and visit a new city.

Which thing on the list do you most want to do? Of the activities mentioned, which one holds the least appeal? How many on the list will you attempt in June? What’s one thing you’d add to the list?

Now Joyce, that’s 4 questions in one! Let me see, 1.) I would love to go to a Farmer’s Market. Fun! Really into fresh vegetables these days!

2.) Going for a morning run is the least appealing. Old age and arthritis keep me from hitting the roads anymore.

3.) I will probably manage to do most of the things mentioned on the list. With the exception of running, of course!

4.) One thing I would add to the list…a visit to see my sister!

2. What’s something you could do today to feel more peaceful?

Get an early bedtime and actually sleep until 7 in the morning. The dogs have been getting me up at 5:30 the last week or so!

3. June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Are you a fan? Swiss mocha, rocky road, chocolate chocolate chip, peanut butter and chocolate, or a dish of plain chocolate…what’s your pleasure?

Any and all chocolate! But my favorite these days is an ice cream called fudge tracks. Totally yummy!!!

4. If you came with a warning what would it say?

Breaks down frequently, needs replacement of parts!

5.What’s the most interesting website you’ve visited in the last week?

With our skylight dying a slow death I have been on every repair/replace web page. Not super exciting, but definitely interesting!

6. Spring, summer, autumn, winter…which season are you? Why?

Autumn. I like cooler temperatures and the beautiful Autumn leaves.

7. “You lose sight of things…and when you travel, everything balances out.” ~Daranna Gidel

Would you agree with that sentiment? Explain why or why not.

I have always found that when I travel I see the world through new eyes. Sometimes I get bogged down seeing the negative in the world, traveling opens new doors and I am reminded of the good in the world!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

As I was driving to an appointment today I was chatting on my cell with a WW friend. I was telling her about going to a Greek Baptism and party and that I had made very good choices at the dinner.
But I also had a slice of Greek sweet bread and a slice of chocolate cake. I felt no guilt.
When I got home I was not too hungry, had a nice cup of tea and then the next meal started in back to counting all my points.
The thing is, I plan to live this way for the rest of my life, and I can live with this. It’s all about making good choices and living the plan.

I weigh in tomorrow, and we will see how it goes!
