A survey, like none other
The lovely Christina of my journey with Multiple Sclerosis asked me to do this, and I was happy to oblige.
1. What sign are you? Cancer, on the Gemini cusp.
2. What is your favorite color? Deep, bright blue
3. How many waffles could you eat in one sitting? One Belgian waffle, two out of the box in the freezer waffles.
4. Can you touch your tongue to your nose? No, I never wanted to taste my nose anyway.
5. If you had to choose between cats and dogs, which would it be? Impossible choice for me to make, and even if I tried, I'd develop too many enemies who live with me. Animals outnumber people in my home, and I'll do what I can to keep the peace.
6. What is something you have learned recently? That hope always endures.
7. What is your favorite quote? I can do all things through God who strengthens me.
8. What is your favorite entry in your own journal? After almost two years, I don't have a favorite anymore.
9. What color is your bedroom? Currently white. I have the hardest time deciding on paint colors.
10. Where is your favorite place to visit? I am torn between the beach and the mountains. Each feed my soul in different ways.
11. What is one thing you want to accomplish this year? Surviving.
12. Why do you write in a journal? My thoughts make a lot more sense when I herd them into written words.
13. What is your favorite joke? Usually the one I heard last, and that one's too dirty to share here.
14. Do you like the city or the country? Both. It depends on my mood.
15. What style is your house decorated? Granny's attic classic meets cheap chic.
16. Who is your favorite artist? This is another I can't decide, but Van Gogh, Monet, O'Keefe, Cassatt and Kahlo are all contenders.
17. Can you pat your tummy and rub your head at the same time? Yes, but I hope I'll never have the need to.
18. Are you a night owl? I have a built in alarm clock that goes off at 5:30 a.m., but somehow I never get to bed until around 1 a.m. So, besides sleep deprived, what does that make me?
19. What is something you love in your house? (If you have a picture you get extra credit!) It's an antique clock, and I am the sixth generation in my family whose home it has graced. I've heard it described as a grandmother clock. It's not quite three feet tall and designed to sit on a mantle. The hands and gong move on weights that have to be wound once a week. My father broke the minute hand in his days of confusion with senile dementia, and I haven't found anyone skilled enough to trust with the repair. Right now, it sits still and silent, but one day, it will count the passing of days again.
20. Do you believe in God? Oh yes.
21. What hobby could you never give up? Reading
22. What color makes you think of Hope? Blue, the color of the sky after a storm.
23. What color makes you think of Love? Red.
24. What is your favorite flower? Red gerber daisies and yellow daffodils.
25. If you had one wish for the world, what would it be? Heart and soul transforming love. That causes so many other positive changes.
26. Whats the best surprise you have ever received? A surprise birthday party a year in which I thought I'd been forgotten.
27. What can you cook like no-one else? Kick ass chocolate chip cookies.
28. What do you think about most? Oh my goodness. I can barely sort out the contents of my head, much less quantify them.
29. Who is your favorite poet? That word drunk insomniac dreamer, Will Shakespeare.
30. And last but not least, if you could wrap yourself up in one word...what would that word be? Love.

Yes, that l'il bugger hope will insist on enduring, won't it? And I'm oiling my walker in preparation for comin' down to Tennesee for some o' those kickass cookies. We should be there in three years or so. Get ready.

I had a balck & red redding since I was 31 when I got married and thought I didn't need a pink or lilac one...this time. LOL
