For those of you who regularly stop in, you know the drill! Check out the Hodgepodge answers below, then hope on over to Joyce's blog (click the Hodgepodge icon!) and see what others are saying! It's pretty darn cool.
1. What's something you take for granted, that when you stop and think about it you feel truly grateful for?
Oh, so many things.. the ability to walk, talk, see, hear, laugh. My children. Our freedoms.
2. The color brown-love it or no? What's your favorite shade of brown? Most loved something in your home or closet in a shade of brown?
I do like brown, though I like it as an accent color, not the primary color of something. I like the soft earthy browns, the ones that look great next to dark cranberry reds and olive greens.
3. What's something you're looking forward to today?
Quite honestly? My housecleaners are coming. A small indulgence, with my hubs across the country. I look forward to them coming, and all day long I look forward to walking in my front door and seeing the entire house cleaned, beds made, etc. Bliss.
4. The word 'feminism' is not new, but it has been generating all kinds of headlines in recent days and months. What do you think/feel when you hear the word? If you're a woman, do you want to be described as a feminist? Why or why not?
Hmm - when I hear the word "feminist" I think of die hard liberals waving their protest signs in the air! I know that's a bit extreme, but I've always lived in an age where women can vote, they can work... there is still progress to be made, of course. I'm not a feminist, per say... but I do believe that women deserve to not be treated as property, that they should have equal rights and equal pay.
5. What's something you personally can't eat without making a mess?
Ribs. Yummy... but messy.
6. When did you last surprise someone with a little gift or when were you last surprised by someone with a little gift? What was it?
Just a couple of weeks ago my friend Julie surprised me with a care package - all the way from Arizona!
7. Share a favorite quote, saying, song lyric or scripture relating to gratitude.
"Gratitude can transform common days into Thanksgiving, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." - William Arthur Ward
8. Insert your own random thought here
I'm tired. I'm going to bed. But before I do, here's a pic of my three C's from last week... Time, if you are listening, could you please slow down a bit? Thanks...
