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!
I love that you do solo travel! I have a solo travel big trip coming up later this summer. Loved reading your answers.
ReplyDeleteI'm just starting to delve into solo traveling, but I think I'm going to like it!
DeleteHi Mary, visiting today from the Hodgepodge!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how you answered #5.
A solo road trip... high fives to you on that!!
Thank you for visiting and for the high fives! :)
DeleteI am the same when it comes to the snow, I would much rather be inside watching it fall.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic time on your trip and I hope it all goes to plan.
Yep...staying inside where it's nice & warm and watching the world turn white is my ideal situation!
DeleteI think it takes a bit of courage to travel solo and I applaud you. I read your post on the painted churches and I'd never heard of that as being a thing. So interesting! I love a country church, although some looked 'fancy' on the inside. I think a mix of solo and friend time is good, and having sisters who know your itinerary is smart too. Happy trails!
ReplyDeleteMary, good for you for doing solo traveling. I'm curious now about your semi-solo trip. I'll click on the other links to see where you have been. Happy Hodgepodge!
ReplyDeleteA warm blanket and a movie sound perfect to me. Wishing you success with your trip. Hope that all works out for you. Nice answer for #5. Hope your week is going well. Take Care.
