1. I read here four creative activities to try this month. They were-calligraphy, make your own cookbook, dance or learn a new type of dance, and letter writing. Which activity on the list appeals to you most? Will you add it to your August?
To be honest, none of them. :-) If forced to choose, I'd suppose letter writing.
2. Bertrand Russell is quoted as saying, 'To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.' Agree or disagree? Explain.
How can you know what happiness is without sadness? I agree.
3. August 17th is National Thriftshop Day...are you a 'thrifter'? If so, tell us about one of your best or favorite finds.
I LOVE to thrift; however, I don't usually have fabulous luck with it. Once, though, I did find crystal deviled egg platter that I just love, and it was only $1!
4. On a scale of 1-10 (with 1= almost none and 10=loads) how would you rate your sense of wanderlust? What kicks your wanderlust into high gear?
Maybe a 2 - I traveled quite a bit when I was in my 20s and 30s, and am quite content to be at home, or visit family.
5. Has life felt more like a marathon or sprint so far this month? How so?
Life is a marathon for me, right now. There is so much that always needs doing, and there is just one of me. However, I try to always remember Philippians 4:13.
6. What do you need to get a jump on before fall officially arrives?
My yard needs some serious work. It is just so hot and humid here, though, that I've been able to talk myself out of trimming and pulling weeds. I can't put it off any longer now!
7. What's the last thing you did with friends or family where you lost track of time?
Whenever my two children come sit on my bed and talk at night, the time flies so fast, and the next thing I know, it is 11:30 p.m.! And I always am up by 5:30 a.m.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
It is very hard to parent a child that is vastly different than yourself. But one day, I'll get it right!
