Happy Wednesday, friends, and happy October! I'm here with Joyce again today for the weekly hodgepodge...this is a post that I dearly love; thank you, Joyce, for your inspiring and thought provoking questions each and every week! I'll jump right in.
1. What do you like most about your family? There are a million things I love about my sons. They're kind, they're funny, they never complain, they're best friends with each other, they're always smiling, their attitudes are almost always great, they love other people, they're helpers by nature. I could go on and on all day long, honestly. They're amazing human beings!
2. What's something nice that happened to you recently? I was boo'ed at work yesterday! This just means that someone gave me this little Halloween basket filled with goodies; it's anonymous and after you're boo'ed, you then pass it on to someone else. Isn't this fun?
3. Do you like the color orange? Besides a pumpkin and an actual orange, what's something orange that you love? I actually hate the color orange, but I love a golden/orange colored sunset.
4. What's something you have now that you couldn't have imagined having five years ago? How does that make you feel? What's possible now because of it? The life I have now isn't one that I'd have imagined having five years ago, but you know what? I'm okay with it, 99.9% of the time. Some days it feels sad and shocking, but I love it almost all the time. It's possible for me to work and have this carefree life now because of the fact that I'm without a husband. I fluctuate all the time about what I want in the future...and I don't know if I ever want to get remarried, honestly. I love my freedom that much. (The picture below is of my two favorite single ladies! I'm so grateful for their friendship.)
5. Let's wrap this up with an October this or that...
pumpkin bread or apple cider donut
cozy sweater or cozy hoodie
apple picking or pumpkin picking
scary movie or Hallmark movie
hayride or corn maze
twinkle lights or candles
autumn hike or autumn bonfire
6. Insert your own random thought here. This is late! So my random thought is that my life usually takes precedence over my blog these days. I sometimes run out of time and don't have the time to plan ahead. I'm not complaining! Thanks for always being around to read here even when I don't show up regularly. Love to all!

I completely agree with your random thought. My real life takes precedence over blogging most of the time. And I can remember when I used to blog *about* my real life. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI totally get you on that! I like that my life takes priority over writing about it, because I feel like I'm living it for the first time in years. I do sometimes miss blogging about it, though...
DeleteYes, our answers were pretty darn close! I am so thankful for you too!!
ReplyDeleteYour boys really do sound like really amazing human beings! You must be so proud of them.
ReplyDeleteAww! How lovely to be boo'ed and what fun!
I am glad you are loving the single life, it really suits you.
I always say you have to live life before you can blog about it so keep enjoying the days and catch up here when you can. Our neighborhood does a boo thing, although with cameras it's become harder to remain anonymous. Still fun though! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to prioritize life over blogging; I'm just in a really boring segment of life right now where I have tons of time for blogging! LOL That boo basket is so cute. It sounds like you work in such a fun school.
