Hodgepodge on a cold, wet day

 


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.

What's worth standing in line for? 

Food especially when you’re hungry

Tell us about a favorite food related memory. 

I remember when I was a child my mum was in hospital and dad made savory mince for tea, it was horrible and all of us except my sister Sue who liked it.

What are some things you find particularly peaceful or calming? 

Mediation and reading

Is there something you do now that gets you just as excited as it did when you were a child? 

Many things like getting ready for a road trip or holiday

To what degree are you in touch with friends from grade school? high school? college if you attended college? 

I am not I do have one friend on Facebook

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember that we all need to nourish our soul, to feed it with mindfulness, positive thinking, and intentional self-care. By doing so means to know yourself deeply and to give ourselves unconditional love. This love and joy help us grow, maintain spiritual health, and give love more freely to others.”

  5. I have a hard time standing in line at a food truck. I never can decide if the food will be good enough to have been worth my time. Holidays and road trips are fun!

  6. I like how your answers mix simple, everyday moments with deeper reflections. The memory of your dad’s savory mince is both funny and nostalgic, and your reminder to nourish the soul is a thoughtful takeaway for anyone reading.
