Love the hodgepodge

 

Hi all here I am taking part in 2026 hodgepodge Q & A the questions can be found here:

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/01/hodgepodge-questions-volume-640.html

What's something recent that had you 'tickled pink'? 

Can’t think of anything but I bet I was with Sue at the time

2. A bed of roses, everything's coming up roses, every rose has it's thorn, stop and smell the roses, rose-colored glasses, a rose among thorns...which rosy expression might currently be applied to your life in some way? 

After some thought I am going with stop and smell the roses, because lately that’s what I feel that I need to do, slow down and enjoy what life has for me at this time

3. What makes you feel loved and appreciated? 

Acknowledgement

4. A box of chocolates or a bouquet of fresh flowers-what's your pleasure? Any special plans for Valentine's Day? 

Either, as long as I don’t have to buy my own

5. Share a favorite quote, scripture, or song lyric relating to love. 

Can’t think of anything

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

“It doesn’t make sense to call ourselves ugly, because we don’t really see ourselves. We don’t watch ourselves sleeping in bed, curled up and silent with chests rising and falling with our own rhythm. We don’t see ourselves reading a book, eyes fluttering and glowing. You don’t see yourself looking at someone with love and care inside your heart. There’s no mirror in your way when you’re laughing and smiling and happiness is leaking out of you. You would know exactly how bright and beautiful you are if you saw yourself in the moments where you are truly yourself.”
