‘Holiday’

How do you celebrate holidays?

How do I celebrate holidays?

Festive Holidays: My Mother was/is a Jehovahs Witness, so as children my sisters and I didn’t get to celebrate Christmas.

I do not follow my mother’s religious values. So now, I enjoy the Christmas festivities with friends. I love the twinkling lights, the Xmas songs, watching the idealistic Xmas movies, the joyous laughter, the festive food, and of course a few tipples to wash it all down with 🤪.

Recreational Holidays: I love to travel, to see as much of the world as I can. Anywhere near, on, or in the ocean 🌊🐟🐠⛵️. I love to sail and scuba dive; the Maldives, the Great Barrier Reef, the Caribbean oceans. The ocean to me, is both calming and therapeutic. It can also be extremely volatile and dangerous…you have to respect it. I love to celebrate nature in all its beauty 😁.

‘Trust’

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

Not to trust so readily. As a child I trusted my family, more specifically, my parents.

However, they were the least trustworthy people in my life. I looked up to them for guidance, love, encouragement, emotional growth.

My parents didn’t give me any of these things.

But, as a child I did trust my parents. So, the lesson for me is 🤔…

Favourite Foods

What are your favorite types of foods?

Oh gosh!!!

I love just about all foods 😋

I enjoy tasting all the different flavours, traditions, and the local ingredients from all the countries I visit.

So, really, I love all foods.

Yum…now I’m hungry 🤔😁😂

‘Walk and Run’

How often do you walk or run?

I can’t run, but I can walk

I can’t stand, but I can dance

Due to spinal complications which required major surgery;

Thoracic spinal fracture

Lumbar disc protrusions

Double cervical discectomy and fusion

Cervical spinal osteophytes removal

I couldn’t run away, but I walked away, and now I’m dancing.

Keep smiling 😁, keep dancing 💃, keep safe.

Leader 🤔

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Do I see myself as a leader 🤔…no, not really.

I was a college lecturer for twenty years, so if that makes me a leader then maybe so.

Favourite Word

What’s your favorite word?

Hmmmm…. My favourite word has to be ‘discombobulated’

It is a word that represents me to a tee, well, it did!

I often felt in a state of confusion, disorientation, anxiety, about something, but never really knowing of what.

I love the sound of the word; discombobulated! It rolls off the tongue wonderfully. It has a certain sense of humour about it.

Hopefully, my new favourite word will become; ‘recombobulated’ 🤞🤗😂
