Hi all here I am
taking part in 2026 hodgepodge Q & A the questions can be found here:
http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-641.html
The Hodgepodge lands
on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Do you mark this season in
some way? Will you be giving something up or adding something to your life in
this Lenten season?
Nope
Pancakes...are you a
fan? Syrup or no syrup? Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some
other add in? Are pancakes on your menu this week?
I like
to add chocolate chips and use Maple Syrup
Tell us about a time
recently when you felt 'spread too thin'.
I can’t
think of one
What's your favorite
jewel or gemstone? In terms of your wardrobe would we find more gemstones,
pastels, black and white, or primary colours?
My
wardrobe has a good mix of black and colours such as purple, green and red. I
don’t have a favourite jewel or gemstone.
What responsibility
do you think is hardest about being in charge?
Being
in charge can mean assigning tasks to others and that can be difficult.
Insert your own
random thought here.
Words have power. So, speak
positivity over your life. Declare blessings, call in goodness, and speak out
the things you want to live. Say that things will work out, that the doors you
need will open, that you will find peace, love, and prosperity.
Give thanks even for what has not happened yet, as if it were already yours.
Because everything we speak with faith is planted in the world and it always
returns to us multiplied.”

I really liked the part about words having power — it’s such a good reminder to stay positive and grateful. And chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup? Yum, that sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and the pancakes are nice
DeleteJoanne, I concur "being in charge can mean assigning tasks to others and that can be difficult." This is Tangie Woods from MRS. T's CORNER.
DeleteI like your random thought.. so very true.
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought so
DeleteWords do have power, both in how we speak to ourselves and to others, Its not always easy to stay positive in the chaos of todays world, but I try. Hope you have a great day Jo-Anne!
ReplyDeleteI also struggle to stay positive at times but I also keep trying
DeleteI've never done lent. The chocolate chips in the pancakes sounds yummy. Your wardrobe sounds nice. I agree. I wouldn't want to give people tasks either. Love your random thought. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe pancakes were nice, pleased you liked the random thought
DeleteLove your thoughts about the power of words. And I agree about being in charge. Delegating to others is great but we are still responsible for how the task is carried out. I've often been disappointed by those I delegated to.
ReplyDeleteI chose to answer one question only this week -- and it's all about the pancakes. Now that's a sweeter thought.
Yeah delegating can suck and pancakes are nice
