Hodge Podge Wednesday

Well...looks as though I am more like Thursday

 but better late than never!


From this Side of the Pond

This week's questions from Joyce:


* We've reached edition number 315 here in the Wednesday Hodgepodge. So: what were you doing at 3:15 yesterday?


I was picking out plants for our new landscaping (which I hope to share soon.) I was also actually driving on Route 315 right around that time!

 * Is that typical? 

No, it's been over a year since I picked out new plantings for the gardens. 





* On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being low and 10 being high) what's your energy level usually like at 3:15 PM?

Low - maybe a 4 or 5 - which is why that is around the time I try yo take my tea. It gets me energetic to fix dinner and get work completed before my husband gets home. 







* A frisbee, a tantrum, a towel, a party, a punch, or a curveball...which have you most recently thrown or had thrown at/for you? Elaborate.

Oh....did I ever have a HUGE CURVEBALL thrown at me this week...which completely blindsided me! I may even blog about it, once the shock and anger wears off. I am trying to count to a hundred before I say anything.
(But no worries - it isn't family or friends or anything that personal.)  ♥

* What are three things that would help you right now. Tell us how or why.


a. better health so I feel and sleep better 
b. cleaning my basement - BIG task that has overwhelmed me!
c. less rabbits and deer eating up our gardens 


* Do you think you're strong? 

I know that I am, yes.





What makes you strong?

I have had a great deal of responsibility for others since I was a child - it has help mold me into the strong woman whom I am today. The old addage "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is true in many cases. It certainly brought me a confidence inside knowing that I can handle big things; therefore I was able to lose inner fears and insecurities. I then could make decisions and take chances that has helped me meet my goals for life.



Here's to strong women!

*  What makes you strong?

Faith in God, my life experiences, trusting my instincts, good support network, and an amazing husband, children and family.

* Do you enjoy reading historical fiction?

It's my #1 very favorite genre of novel.

  5. Oh Michele...you seem to be a girl (notice I said GIRL) after my own heart! I loved your answers and can relate to many of them. I came this close to using the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" in my post as well. Would love to sit and talk face to face some day!
