1. We’ve reached edition number 315 here in the Wednesday Hodgepodge. So tell us, what were you doing at 3:15 yesterday? Is that typical? On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being low and 10 being high) what’s your energy level usually like at 3:15 PM?
My energy level is terrible at that time of day. I really have a sinking spell. I try to sit down with a cup of hot tea (even in the summer) and either some fruit of a cookie, and catch my breath. Occasionally I kick back and take a short nap. Today at 3:15 I was catching my breath after a long day of appointments and grocery shopping.
2. A Frisbee, a tantrum, a towel, a party, a punch, or a curve-ball…which have you most recently thrown or had thrown at/for you? Elaborate.
I think the Curve-ball. It seems that 2017 has been one giant Curve-ball. Between my surgery, infection and recovery, and Jack’s amputation, I think it is safe to say that nothing has gone the way I thought it would in 2017!
3. What are three things that would help you right now. Tell us how or why.
You know, I have been blessed to have people around me that love me. And these same people also remind me to stay positive. As long as I can do that, that is all I need! I know I am supposed to write three things, but seriously, remaining positive is all I need!
4. Do you think you’re strong? Why or why not? What makes you strong?
I never thought I was strong at all. In fact, I have always thought I was sort of an emotional mess. But when I look back over my life, I realize that I am one strong woman. I have faced tremendous adversity, and yet I am here. I have a good life and I am happy. I believe what has given me strength, is my belief in God. I truly believe in prayer, in God’s grace and my ability to handle almost everything with love and prayer.
5. Do you enjoy reading historical fiction? What’s your favorite book set sometime in the past?
I really enjoyed the books I have read about the Civil War. There were so many very strong men and women during that time. Abraham Lincoln, General Ulysses Grant, Joshua Chamberlain, Clara Barton, William Sherman, and Florence Nightingale. There are many more, but these are the ones that I have actually read their biographies.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I went grocery shopping on Tuesday and they had Lobster for $5.99 a pound! Guess what we had for dinner! I love Lobster, but refuse to pay $10.00 a pound!
I wish a lobster dinner was on the menu at my house tonite : ) That sounds so good! Hope everyone is healing well, and life is returning to normal for you all. You’ve had quite a few months there!
