Wednesday Hodgepodge....A Perfect 10?

It's time for Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce, who blogs at From This Side of The Pond.  Each week she'll pose some questions for us to answer. What a great way to journal life. 

This weeks questions were a bit challenging to answer. As I looked them over, I honestly wasn't. sure how I would answer them. 

1. Something you've done recently that required you giving 110% ? Hmm....gosh, I don't know. I feel like recently things have been so up in the air and feeling a bit wonky, that I haven't given 110% to anything, and right now I'm so tired from lack of sleep last night I can't think straight. Ha! So, perhaps I'm giving myself the grace to just give "enough", enough to get what needs to be done, done. Enough to keep things going, enough to say, I need to not do something. 

2. What task-sport-chore-hobby-activity have you participated in or completed, that if judged, would land you a perfect 10?  Oh boy, I don't know. Dinner last night was a hit so maybe I'll go with that. Maybe the photos of my grandson riding his electric "motorcycle" the other day.

3. What are ten of your favorite things right now? 

1. Pumpkin White Mocha with Pumpkin spice cold foam. SO. GOOD.

2. My grandbabies

3. The progress on our home addition

4. Changing of the weather..I love crisp mornings and warm days. Anticipating leaves changing.

5. Anticipating a family vacation the first of October

6. Shelfrighteous Book Box and in person book club

7. My new mums on my porch.

8. Interacting with people at work

9. Joining the various link parties, etc to help me be consistent with blogging.

10. Playing games or doing puzzles.

4. Nine times out of ten I am a very positive person.

5. Where were you when the world stopped turning, twenty years ago this week? I was in my living room and I don't remember if I had the news on already or if someone told me and then I turned it on. My hubby was at work, my girls were 6 and 2. I don't remember a lot of details. I just remember being in shock. 

In 2017 my youngest daughter and I traveled to New York for a week and we went to the memorial. It was so emotionally stirring when you walked onto the grounds. Did you know that everyday volunteers go and put a rose next to any name of a person who has a birthday on that day. There is at least one birthday each day.

6. Insert your own random thought here. As I'm sitting here writing this, I'm hoping and praying my back loosens up. I tweaked it a bit and need to hit the chiropractor today, BUT before that I'm babysitting my 3 year old grandson and 8 month old grand-daughter....so really hoping I can keep it mellow so the back doesn't go all the way out. I slept downstairs on the recliner and am working off of only about 4 1/2 hours sleep. Ugghh.

With Joy Unquenchable,
