Spring has
officially sprung (in the northern hemisphere anyway) ...did she roll in more
like a lion or more like a lamb in your neck of the woods? What needs more of
your attention in terms of a good spring clean this year-your house or your
garden/yard?
Since
I am in the southern hemisphere, I will cast my mind back to last spring, ok she
was nothing like a lion or a lamb but more like a snowball rolling down a mountain
getting bigger and bigger till it hit something hot and exploded into rain
which was followed by heat.
What's put a spring
in your step lately?
This
is easier ants on the ground, they will have me bouncing around like I have springs
attached to my feet, oh not what you meant, sorry but that’s were my brain went.
When you were a kid,
what was the best snack to find in your lunchbox? If you didn't do the lunchbox
thing, tell us what was your favourite after school snack.
Whether
in my lunch box or atter school the answer is the same, a slice of mum’s homemade
caramel slice.
In what area of your
life are you planting seeds?
Tim
plants seeds in his garden to grow food stuff, me I plant seeds in the minds
and hearts of my grandchildren to grow kindness, compassion and empathy.
Why do you live
where you do? Would you consider living somewhere else? Why or why not?
We
moved here because this the place offered to us, we rent through the government,
no I would not consider living anywhere else, I am happy here, been here 37yrs
in May, also now have two of my daughters living in the same complex.
Insert your own
random thought here.
Remember
when life is struggle and you feel like you are failing at everything you try
to do, you need to stop clear your mind of those negative thoughts and remind
yourself, that our failures can be a chance to learn something, or it can mean you are worn out to the extent that you are unable to function right and you may need some time to try and step away from
stressful stuff and allow your mind and body to rejuvenate.
I definitely think grandparents plant seeds in ways that are different than what parents offer. It's a joy for sure! We generally go from cold to hot here too, but we seem to be having an actual spring this year. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI think so, my day is going ok
DeleteYour final thoughts hit me where I live tonight...
ReplyDeleteIt is how I feel at this time
DeleteSpring was unusually lamb-like. Everything needs attention, sadly.
ReplyDeleteI am feeling better after four years of misery. I almost have a spring in my step!
I actually don't remember if I had a favorite snack.
I don't have grandchildren. I would need to think about this.
We moved here 31 years ago. I had 3 horses and wanted to have them at home with me. We chose here because of the close proximity to Mark's office and to the city.
Your thought would echo mine, as we are living in a stressful time. Leaving that behind for awhile is necessary.
Four years of misery would be horrible, it is good when we are happy where we live, I am pleased you liked my thought
DeleteI love your comment about planting seeds with your grandchildren. Sometimes it's easier for grandparents to do that then parents.
ReplyDeleteYes I think it is often easier for grandparents as we are not always the ones handing out disapline
