Just for grins...because I feel like using a writing prompt today, lol. You can click the picture to see other folks' answers...
1. What are your current priorities in this season of life? Elaborate as much or as little as you like.
Wow, that can have a LOT of applications. And I've always had problems establishing priorities. Some don't change...commitment to faith, to family, to work...but I have had a challenge this last weekend to be more intentional, more disciplined about writing. And that is going to carry over into the rest of my life.
2. What's one thing you wish you had more of?
T.I.M.E.
3. Do you celebrate Halloween? If so, what are your Halloween traditions? Any special plans for Halloween this year?
Halloween has never been a high priority holiday, really. We did the Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom back in September, because we were there, and we watched Great Pumpkin last week after my hubby's birthday dinner, which is rather a tradition now. We'll probably hang out with our local kids and roast some hot dogs...assuming the rain holds off. For many years we did a fall festival type thing at the small church we were in at the time; I ran a candy walk game in my Sunday School classroom...someone gets a piece of candy when the music stops. I listened to the cast recording of Godspell on repeat every year for that, and now that is a necessity on Oct. 31st. I will probably play it on repeat on Spotify at work tomorrow, lol. Not typical Halloween music, but it tells my brain where we are on the calendar.
4. Last thing you ate that contained chocolate? Last thing you made that called for chocolate?
Just ate a couple of fun-sized chocolate bars from the above mentioned Magic Kingdom party, lol. I still have a wee bit left. I made a chocolate milkshake last week, does that count? LOL
5. Do you prefer laid back weekends or do you like to have a lot of plans? Thinking back to this past weekend... which was it?
I really like an unstructured weekend; it feels like a break. A busy weekend doesn't give me breathing time before diving back into the workweek. But I drove close to 1,000 round trip last weekend to attend a writer's retreat in the mountains of North Carolina (had to go around the 'Essential Travel Only' zones...) That was definitely planned out! I took a day off of work when I got back to catch that breath.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
How 'bout a picture from the afternoon walk I took up the hill where we were meeting for the writer's retreat? Isn't that a view???
Hi Lisa- thanks for visiting me from the Hodgepodge. What a beautiful view you saw on your walk.
ReplyDeleteHalloween has always been a stumbling block to me and I posted about it for today. In my youth I was into the spirit world- I even considered myself a witch. So after coming to Christ I just have never been able to reconcile the two. Even if I dressed my boys up in non- scary costumes it was just the fact it was Halloween. Every year I seemed to be nagged by my conscious.
I get that. Especially if you were involved in the occult, I would think the seamy side of the date would be so much more obvious. When I was growing up, there wasn't nearly as much ...dark...associated with Halloween. It was just fun. But when my kids were growing up, there was a real rise in the more sinister side of things. But a friend of mine commented today, 'I am not going to let the devil have any of my days! This is candy day! Happy candy day!' But it's also the anniversary of the Reformation, so there's that. And I did listen to Godspell on repeat at work today, lol. That's a lot to say that Halloween is way more complicated now than it used to be and not in a good way...
DeleteI think a Disney park would be a lot of fun around Halloween, but I feel the same - that it's not a high priority holiday for us. And I have mixed feelings about it. Have a great week!
