Remember
there are many types of medicine not just the pills a doctor gives you, such as
laughter, rest and reading. Some may also find work to be medicine as it gets
them moving and doing something and at times that is what is needed. Often just
going for a walk can be a type of medicine. Whatever type of medicine you need
take.

It takes some inner strength and
feeling brave to stop seeing yourself in a negative way, to accept that others
see you differently they often see someone who is a survivor, who has come
through some rough times and those times have made you stronger. Stop looking
in the mirror and seeing the old you but instead see the strong person you are
now.

Hope

“Stop
treating your own heart like a house you’re only visiting. Move in, hang the
lace curtains, and light the candles just because the glow makes you feel
lovely. You don’t need a reason to buy yourself the silk, brew the rose tea, or
speak to your reflection with the tenderness of a best friend. You are the
garden, the gardener, and the bloom all at once. Stop asking for permission to
be soft with yourself and start living like the girl who finally realized her
own company is the most exquisite luxury she’ll ever own.”-Unknown

out of here. Sum up your March in ten words or less.
Just
another run of the mill month
Are you afraid of
heights? When was the last time you found yourself dealing with a height, and
did it make you nervous?
I am
terrified of open heights, eclosed heights don’t both me as much, been a while
since I have had to deal with heights.
What's a word you
struggle to spell on a regular basis, and sometimes need to double check before
writing it down? Use the word in a sentence that tells us something about your
April calendar.
The word
that comes to mind is apology I had to look it up in the dictionary before I
wrote the damn word. I will offer an apology for my slackness during April.
Love 'em or hate
'em, with Easter comes the sweet treat known as Peeps. So... do
you love 'em or hate 'em? Speaking of peeps, what's your favorite way to have
chicken?
Had to
think for a bit about what Peeps are, then it came to me before I turned to Google,
they are not something we see much in the shops down here. The best way to eat
chicken is roasted with roast or baked vegetables and gravy.
This week's
Hodgepodge lands on the first day of April, which happens to be National Poetry
Month. Do you like poetry? Share a favorite line or two from one of your
favorite poems. What makes this one a favorite?
Once I
would have said I had no interest in poetry but the last few years that has
changed when it comes to a line from a poem it would have to be, “there was
movement at the station”
The poem
is The Man From Snowy River by Banjo Paterson

“Respect
is built through actions.
Honesty is valued in silence.
Trust grows with consistency.
Loyalty comes back to those who give it.
Character speaks louder than promises.
Integrity shapes how others see you.
What you give to life, life returns.”
