Head in the Clouds Hodgepodge

 

Joyce asks the questions, and we provide the answers. See how others answered at From This Side of the Pond.

1. What kind of winter person are you-snow lover, fireplace snuggler, winter adventurer, or indoor hibernator? Elaborate. 

I'm a combination of snow lover, fireplace snuggler, and indoor hibernator. I love the snow as long as I don't have to get out in it. Being from the South, we'll have a beautiful snow and (most of the time) it will be gone by lunchtime. I mentioned here that my upstairs fireplace is in a weird spot, so while the idea of hugging the fireplace is ideal, I don't do it a lot because of where it is. Just give me a warm blanket and a good book/movie, and I'm good!

2. The Pantone color of the year is cloud dancer, described as a gentle, billowy off white shade. The color symbolizes 'peace, clarity, quiet reflection, renewal, and a soft reset'. Of the terms just listed which do you need most in your life this winter? 

Clarity. 

3. Every cloud has a silver lining, on cloud nine, head in the clouds, storm clouds gathering, or cloud of suspicion...which 'cloud' idiom do you most relate to currently? Explain. 

Head in the clouds. I'm planning a big semi-solo trip, and I'm hoping I don't have my head in the clouds. When I start having doubts, I remind myself who is putting that doubt in my mind and try to remember that God has this!

4. coconut, cauliflower, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, onions, ranch dressing...of the white foods listed, which would be the hardest for you to give up? Do you like all or any of the foods on the list? 

I don't eat any of them on a daily basis, so I don't have an answer to this one. The only one I don't like on the list is cottage cheese.

5. Thomas Wentworth Higginson is credited with this quote-

"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year." 

Agree or disagree? Tell us why. 

I wholeheartedly agree. It takes rain to appreciate the sunshine. It takes winter to appreciate the spring. It takes bad times to appreciate the good times. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I wrote a couple of posts on my first solo road trip on my travel blog. I managed to get it all in 2 posts!
