Not a sporting hodgepodge

 


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

The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of 1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event? 

Since I have zero interest in sport the answer is none

In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us...what's your superpower?’

I would say how I try to see other’s point of view and being able to accept that other people don’t see things how I do and to be able to not have a fit over it.

Are you a romantic? 

Nope I don’t think I am, I’m to practical

Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these? 

Blue cheese yuck and feta not keen on that either

What's more important-doing what you love or loving what you do? 

Loving what you do because honestly you often are unable to do what you love.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember that what we tell ourselves can do so much harm to us if we are all running ourselves down with negative thoughts telling ourselves that we are stupid or ugly and unlovable is not good, every day we should remind ourselves that we are indeed loveable and even if we have a stupid thought from time to time it doesn’t make us stupid just normal. I often tell myself that I am looking good when I look at myself in a mirror, yes there are times I will say I look old, but I don’t say I look ugly, just old. We need to have more positive thoughts about ourselves.

  1. I think some people who answered today didn't see the subtle difference between the two options in #5. I agree with what you said. We need to learn to love what it is we have to do. I'm sometimes surprised by what I see in the mirror. On the inside I don't feel my age. Have a great day!

    1. Sometimes the subtle difference is hard to see, I am trying to tell myself I look good when I look into a mirror

  2. I think the ice skating is fun to watch. Yes, loving what you do is important. I am definitely putting myself down. I have a hard time liking myself right now. I like that you look in the mirror and tell yourself that you are looking good. Take care.

    1. Telling ourselves we look good and not beating ourselves up isn't easy for so many
