Tuesday 4

 

Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4, who can be found here: https://lemonscottage.blogspot.com/

Do storms frighten you or make you cautious?

Yes, some storms do scare me, but generally they don’t

2. What is the worst weather you can remember?

Had to think about this, what sticks in my head was a bad storm when I was a child and my mum had to ring the ambos as my sister Jeannie was having a terrible asthma attack and had to go to hospital, the wind was so strong mum said it made the ambulance rock. I remember the windows in the house rattle.

3.Are you in a personal storm right now and do you need our prayers to help you through it?  I think many bloggers are prayer warriors indeed.

I believe in the power of pray and personally I am struggling at the moment with dyskinesia because of having Parkinson’s.

4.  What is the best advice you can give to others about weathering storms of any kind.

Stay inside out of the storm, have candles or torches ready, and just stay calm.

 

A bit of hodgepodge

 

Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

Are you a risk taker? To what degree? 

No bloody way do I take risks

What's your favorite candy? Would you say you have a sweet tooth? 

Liquorice allsorts or chocolate and yeah, I have a sweet tooth

Somewhere you've been recently that had you feeling 'like a kid in a candy store'? 

A Christmas store with all sorts of Christmas decorations

What do you think is the most effective way to make a positive change in the world? 

Kindness and compassion

Do you like surprises? 

Sometimes but mostly not so much

Insert your own random thought here.  

Remember there is only one you, there may be many sides to you as well as many layers but at the core there is you and you are unique. Embrace who you are, remember you matter, smile and laugh when you can, if life feels hard have a good cry and mediate.  Then remind yourself that you are unique and that makes you who you are, if you feel inclined to ask God to help you accept that you are important and you matter.

We're Family

 This is a slightly altered poem by Carol Thomas, called I’m So Glad We’re Family

Family is a feeling of forever, without having to say the words.

It’s a feeling of love without needing to explain why.

It lives in the deepest places of the heart where memories are kept, where laughter is free and unspoken and never broken.

Nothing could make me feel better than having you as a sibling. I know you will always be there for me when needed, loving and supporting me.

We have a connection between us that nothing can ever change, I love that we are family because you all are wonderful and will always hold a special place in my heart.

An orange hodegpodge

 

Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

What's something nice that's happened to you recently? 

I can’t think of anything

Do you like the colour orange? Besides a pumpkin and an actual orange, what's something orange you love?

Yes, I like the colour orange, and I like mandarins

What's something you have now you couldn't have imagined having five years ago? How does that make you feel? What's possible now because of it?

This weeks random thought is a quote from Tasha Conhran.

“Spend time thinking about what matters to you and what you find to be meaningful. Invest in those things. It’s wonderful when you can live your life in accordance with your own values rather than what other people tell you what you should want. Leave everything else behind because it really doesn’t matter if it doesn’t bring you joy.”

-Tasha Cochran

Tuesday's four on Tuesday

 

Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4, who can be found here: https://lemonscottage.blogspot.com/

This week we are thinking about reading.

How do you relax in the evening after dinner?

The same way I relax during the day, I put my feet up and watch TV.

Do you read in bed? What kind of books do you read?

Nope never have read in bed, I like historical fiction, stories about real people and events.

Do you have a list of books you look forward to reading?

Nope

What is the best book you've ever read and why? 

I can’t think of anything I would call the best book I have ever read, there have been many good books over the years.

How about the worst book you feel you wasted time reading?

If I read a terrible book, I do not remember what it was mostly likely because it was terrible.
