A Learning Hodgepodge

 


What's a lesson you've learned from a mistake? 

Not to wear thongs in wet weather unless I want to face plant the ground.

Do you salt food while you're cooking or let diners add their own?  What's a food you think must be salted? Do you like pepper? 

No, I don’t add salt while cooking, I can’t eat hot chips without salt, and I do not like pepper.

What was the last gathering you attended and what did you do there? 

That would be the siblings Christmas lunch at my brother’s place.

Your favourite shade of purple? What's your favorited purple flower? 

Mauve and either Lavender or Lilac

Share a favourite spring travel memory.

Grief isn’t something that one experiences then it goes away and depending on who one is grieving that may be the case but if your grief is over losing someone really close to you such as a parent, child, sibling or even a grandparent. The grief can last for the rest of your life, you learn to live with it but there are times when your grief will flare up and feel raw again. This is how it is for me during the month of April especially on the 12th and the 21st.

  1. It will be 22 years since my son’s death and while I don’t grieve as I did in those early years, I think of him everyday and miss him terribly. You’re right about grief - You learn to live with it because really, what other choice do you have?

  2. That's a good one. Our daughter once wore sandals when we went up to see snow in the mountains. I like pepper too. A siblings lunch sounds wonderful. My sister lives in Florida and my brother lived in Wisconsin before he passed away. I will be seeing my sister in two weeks. Haven't seen her since the pandemic. Mauve is a nice choice and I love Lilac's. ((Hugs)) Grief is definitely hard to deal with.
