Hodgepodge and Change

 


It's been said January is 'the month of opportunity, inspiration, and change." Which of the three do you need most right now? Elaborate. 

Inspiration, always need some of that, me and change are not good friends, I accept change, I just don’t long for it.

 Do you consider opportunity as something that comes to you or something you create for yourself? 

A bit of both, sometimes it just pops up in front of you other times you have to go looking for it or have to create it yourself.

The British Museum opened on this date (January 15th) back in 1759. Do you like visiting museums? Do you have a favourite? 

I love museums, I don’t have a favourite

It's National Oatmeal Month (yes, apparently it gets a whole month as opposed to a single day). Do you like oatmeal? How often do you eat a bowl of oatmeal? How do you like yours? What about an oatmeal cookie? Is that a sweet treat you enjoy? 

I believe oatmeal is like porridge and I like porridge in the winter months, not that keen on oatmeal cookies but I do love Anzac biscuits.

What's something useful you learned in high school? 

Can’t think of a single useful thing I learnt in high school

Insert your own random thought here. 

I have always said me and change are not good friends and for the most part that is true I generally don’t like change, however, often change happens without us being aware of it, our hair loses its colour turning grey this is something we see happening but often don’t take any notice of.  Of course, not all change is good nor is all change bad sometimes change is just different, when we can accept that we will be less stressed and feel hopefully feel happier.

  1. There are those subtle changes you mentioned that don’t bother me that much or gun changes like a new piece of furniture or changing around a room - the changes I always are unnerved by are, when they tear down the old rickity bridge only to replace it with one that doesn’t fit the area. Or new neighbors- at least my old neighbors I know what to expect. Those types of changes I don’t do well with.

    Enjoyed your answers Jo-Anne and I’m like you with the HS question. Frankly I do even want to think about high school.

  2. I have mostly been a change resister. I have to be dragged in to the new but once there I adjust and make peace, and often I end up enjoying it. I have grown most in seasons of change I think. Hope you have a great day!

  3. In Geography in 1963 we learned places in order, according to their initials eg HOMES are the five Great Lakes between Canada and USA.

  4. Big changes for me this coming year. Looking forward to when it is done and dusted...but the process--awk! Moving wears me down completely. Last time was over a decade ago and I was shot for a month or two. Going to be harder this time than it was last time. But it will all be worth it when it is accomplished. :)
