Living and learning

Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

At first glance, I thought the DP today was better answered by the younger bloggers.Perhaps those who had made fewer descions in life and would easily pick out one or two of note.

I was thinking to myself, crikey, I’ve made so many descions over the years, good and bad how do I pick one? And then one did come to mind.

Distance learning, I’ve done quite a few now, some of them taking 18 months to complete-and that was taking it seriously  and getting on with it.

So, yes, I’ll go with that. Final answer, distance learning.

Yawn

What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

The thing is, WP, there are plenty of undesirable places on Earth – totally ruined by humans, of course. Lots of beautiful countries have been destroyed and their people fled. It is a sad state of affairs. Just a handful of men could affect so many in such devastating ways. Criminal.

So I shall just choose one that didn’t do it for me when I visited. Norway, the limited biodiversity bored me senseless – and that is coming from someone who never gets bored.

The company wasn’t much better 😂

Pushing up the daisies?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

WP, maybe if you had asked where you would like to see yourself in 10 years. You seem to forget we can’t even predict tomorrow, this afternoon.

But I get your drift 😏 and I think this is best answered by the younger bloggers amongst us. Their visions and dreams have some scope there.

Moi? Still happy and healthy in my own skin. Sharing my life with a cat or dog. Just going about my life pretty much as I am now. That would be cool.

A huge lottery win would be fabulous, and I could do a lot with that, to keep me busy, or not.

Isn’t she lovely?

Failing that I’ll be OK just doing what I’m doing.

It’s the little things

What are 5 everyday things that bring you happiness?

Just feeling fit and healthy feels good and  something to be happy and grateful for. And that goes for Patch too!

The freedom to do as I please is an absolute thrill and delight, every day.

Simple pleasures of a lovely breakfast and coffee.

A walk with said dog, fresh air, exercise, light, and sometimes even sunshine out in the natural world.

I love putting food out for the birds and watching them come day to feed and bathe.

My world is small now. My life is peaceful and quiet. It’s just the way I like it.

A meal to die for

Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

The title gave it away? Yes, you are right. A positive change in my life was to stop eating the fresh of brutally slaughtered animals.

It’s on a plate. It’s eaten and forgotten in a moment. Nice

Does mental agility count?

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

‘Fun-exercise’? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Just kidding!

I get exercise and light( never underestimate how important light is to your well-being)  several times a day, with Patch.

Yep, it isn’t anywhere near the cardiovascular that we should aim for, but hey, that’s how it is. I’m out for hours every day, getting fresh air and finding peace with nature.

Exercising my grey matter for an hour or so every morning is fun, we’ll not fun exactly, but I like to do it. I guess it’s more of a habit now, anyway. A full round of Zen Word a few of Spider Solitaire is a given. I change the third game on a whim. Those screw fix things or moving liquid around in bottles. Can’t think of their names offhand. But I’m sure it does give my brain a bit of a workout.

So, that me and exercise.
