http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-661.html
1. What's something
you enjoy now that your younger self would never have appreciated?
Sugar
on a banana sandwich
2. What was peaceful
about today?
The
quiet, no one is aroundme it’s just me and my laptop
3. It's National
Blueberry Day (July 8). Will you celebrate? You can have one of the
following right now-a slice of blueberry pie, a warm blueberry muffin, or a
stack of blueberry pancakes...which do you choose?
This or
that-blueberries or raspberries? blueberries or strawberries?
I don’t
not like blueberries but I’m not keen on them, I would rather strawberries.
4. Do you need a
break? From what?
Nope
no break needed here
5. What has
surprised you most about getting older?
How
young I still am in my thoughts and dreams
6. Insert your own
random thought here.
“Your
voice is the most influential sound in your life, so speak to yourself as if
you are someone you deeply love. Every positive word you offer your own heart
is a brick in a fortress of self-worth that no outside criticism can tear down.
As you fill your own cup with this kindness, you naturally begin to pour into
others, offering affirmations that act as mirrors to their hidden strengths. By
choosing words that build up rather than break down, you transform your
environment into a place of growth. Remember: an encouraging word to yourself
changes your day, but an encouraging word to another can change their life.”
What would my young self not have appreciated?
ReplyDeleteMy greatest pleasure these days is sitting in the sunshine, with an espresso in hand, reading a book or journal.
No friends, no food, no tv.
That sounds so good, I liked the thought of sitting in the sunshine doing nothing much
DeleteI've never had a banana sandwich. Do you put some sort of condiment on it? I love bananas and have had peanut butter and banana on a sandwich before which is really good. Most days I don't feel my age either. Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAll that goes on a banana sandwich is butter, a banana and sugar
DeleteOhh! Banana and sugar sandwiches are good, I've always liked them.
ReplyDeleteYour peaceful day sounds like my day today. I am enjoying being home alone and getting on with stuff on my laptop.
Yes they are nice, time spent alone is a good time
DeleteI've never had a banana and sugar sandwich, but I used to love peanut butter and banana sandwiches - haven't had one in quite a few years.
ReplyDeleteI like your answer to #5 - I'm not sure I feel like I'm as old as the numbers say I am, and that is a bit surprising.
Hope you're having a great week!
I have never had a banana and peanut butter sandwich
DeleteWell that is an interesting sandwich. Glad you enjoyed the quiet. I'm glad your thoughts and dreams are still young. I like your random thought. I need to talk to myself like that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a yummy sanga I'm pleased you like my random thought
DeleteHave to say, the banana sandwich one took me aback. Just the sugar part- I make mine with chips!
ReplyDeleteInteresting with chips what type of chiips
DeleteWell, I guess you call them crisps- just regular old potato chips
DeleteThat random thought about how we talk to ourselves is so powerful, it really is a huge part of staying young in your thoughts and dreams as you age. As for the snacks, a banana sandwich with sugar sounds like a total comfort food, even if your younger self didn't appreciate it! There is absolutely nothing better than a completely quiet afternoon with just you and your laptop to reset. I am 100% on team strawberry with you, though a warm blueberry muffin is still pretty hard to pass up.
ReplyDeleteI am pleased people like my random thoughts and I like that I think of myself as young as I feel if you think your are old then you will act and be old
DeleteI agree -- I think I feel way younger than I actually am!
