the Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

Happy Wednesday, friends! I love this day of the week with the weekly hodgepodge questions; don't you? I'll jump in since this is a late post for me.

1. Today is national Tell a Fairy Tale day...have you read one lately? What's your favorite? Do you believe in happily ever after? I haven't read a fairy tale lately! I haven't thought of one in years, but when I was young, I loved the story of Cinderella until Beauty and the Beast came along, and that became my favorite. I have a B&tB snowglobe in my bedroom that Dad gave me for sixteenth birthday. Even though life has made me a teensy bit jaded, I do believe that love (marriage) can last forever, even if mine turned out differently. Each week at church, we celebrate milestone wedding anniversaries of fifty plus years; last week we celebrated a couple for being married seventy years! Isn't that incredible? I do think the big and the small milestones should always be celebrated. Take the trips, go on the dates, do all the things you can to invest in your marriage!

2. Complete one of the following sentences with a thought relating to your life currently. 

Once upon a time....

A long time ago....

In a place far, far away....

A long time ago I had such a different idea of how my life would turn out. I was young and naive, and I was not the same person who is writing this today. I no longer lament what was lost in my life, but can honestly say that I'm grateful for how it's turning out. Even if my life was something surprising to me, none of this took God by surprise. 

3.  Which of the following fairy tale foods is your favorite? Which have you made or eaten lately? 

porridge/oatmeal (Goldilocks and The Three Bears), an apple (Snow White), a gingerbread cookie (The Gingerbread Man), pumpkin soup/pie/bread (Cinderella), peas (The Princess and the Pea), beans (Jack and The Beanstalk) or a cup of tea (Alice in Wonderland) 

Of these, my favorite and what I've recently eaten is an apple and I have one sitting out to take to work today. 

4. What's your idea of fun?

dinner with my people last night

spending time with my people

reading

listening to music

a summer day spent in a pool

being with a big group of people

traveling

making my home cozy and inviting

5. Next week's Hodgepodge lands in March. Is that right? I guess so.  Give us one noun, one verb, and one adjective that tell us something about your February. To make you think a little harder, you cannot use the words cold or snowy. 

noun- cozy

verb- active!

adjective- fun! 

I loved being busy and having a lot of fun this month. I can't believe Saturday is March 1! 

6. Insert your own random thought here. Here's my new favorite song! It's The King is in the Room by Phil Wickham.

Thanks for reading my blog today, friends! I'll see you back here tomorrow. Love to all!
