Favorite Candy

By · 1 Comment

What’s your favorite candy?

I’m going to put some real thought into this candy reflection. I have a lot of candy I really like but my favorite? That’s tough.

To nail it down on one candy, I would have to go with Dove’s dark chocolate. They are so smooth and delicious, melting in your mouth, and even come with a little inspirational message on the inside of the foil wrapper. How wonderful!? 🤤

Other candies, I enjoy would be snickers, Mary Jane’s, cowtails, Toblerone, scor bars, whatchamacallit, M&Ms, Reeses, and you know, I could just keep going on.

Might be easier to name the ones I don’t like. There’s one. Candy Corn 🤮

It’s just not candy. If you like it, you’re probably a serial killer.

Like a Tumbleweed

By · Leave a Comment

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

The extra time I would have weekly would be something I’d want to enjoy, if I didn’t require sleep.

Traveling is one of my favorite things to do whether it’s by camper or on sailboat. I love spending time with my husband on adventures. He and I probably weren’t meant to have couches in our home. They suck you in.

I would want to be like a tumbleweed. Quietly rolling through towns, exploring places, and even visiting family and friends. Nothing brings me joy like visiting friends or family.

Just tumbling through…

3 Peeves

By · Leave a Comment

Name your top three pet peeves.

People who chew with their mouth open or loudly. It’s just flat out disgusting and the sound makes my stomach queasy.

People that obsessively chew on their fingers. Also disgusting and is probably equivalent to chewing on raw chicken. Barf!

Toilet paper, either not put on the holder, or put on the wrong direction is my last. Come on people, it always flows from over the top. If you’re putting it on so it comes from the bottom, you are a serial killer.

She jumped for joy

By · Leave a Comment

Who are your current most favorite people?

My current favorite person is the young lady walking along the road, on my way to visit a friend. She jumped up and down and started running, and in my head it was for joy.

Joy in finding the right song during her walk

Joy and maybe news from someone she was speaking to.

It doesn’t really matter because for that instant she was my favorite person.

Sailboat and RV Bound

By · Leave a Comment

How do you want to retire?

Clothing optional

Sailing the high seas on a sailboat has never been an idea I had for retirement. but in 2020, it’s suddenly became some thing we’re planning for, and all my husband’s idea.

Sailing grew on me quickly. I love it!

Fun in the sun on the sailboat ⛵️

We have the RV, but will need to wait for the boat. I haven’t decided if this is a great idea. Sometimes living in a house just isn’t big enough.

And then being stuck out at sea for days, weeks, even MONTHS!!

Could get ugly. 🤪

What does practice mean?

Do you practice religion?

Religion has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My family has attended services since I was born. That tiny church was in a rural setting, where everyone knew each other, and probably their business too.

You know I’m right.

As an adult, I attended a large church for a few years with my husband and children. We got to know a few people but, as a friend were invited to join us once said, “It’s like God -The Machine” with so many attendees.

He was impressed with the drum kit the church owned. It was much like a concert, the opposite of my childhood church where we would watch people drift off to sleep, then snap their head back up, cause God was watching us all.

Once Covid hit, we stopped attending and haven’t returned since.

Do I still have my faith? Yes.

Do I get angry at God? Yes.

I ask forgiveness for that. G

God and I are good and I thank that alien in the sky daily for all provided.

Nope to broke

By · Leave a Comment

Have you ever broken a bone?

While I’ve never broken a bone, I ruptured my left Achilles tendon on January 19, which I’m told is far worse.

Yeah me, being that overachiever at all things.

Photo 3/16/23 is after my cast was removed and stitches snipped. Everything seemed to be going well.

A few weeks passed and I picked up an infection. The doctor’s didn’t act fast enough or maybe I should’ve pushed more for immediate care, but it got out of control.

April 24 deep infection

The internal (dissolvable) stitches forced their way out tendon, releasing 70% of what had been repaired. They did a second surgery.

The removal of these stitches was horrific. I cried.

After the surgery and 2 weeks of the cast, the stitches and cast were removed. I had only 30% attachment but the doctors are quick to say it could grow stronger through scar tissue build up. Doesn’t that sound so reassuring?

I made it to the beach this past weekend to attend my friends wedding. I’m just starting to walk again now in late May. Praying and staying positive to be able to one day do all the fun activities I love.

I might skip long-board skating in the future. But, maybe not!

Not broken, just on the slightly damaged shelf for now…
