Pondering With a Purpose

Thursday again! Time to do a little "pondering" with Brenda from Ponderings of an Author.

Her rules are really easy:

1. Grab the Pondering with a Purpose Badge (in her sidebar)

2. Look at the week's prompt

3. Post something on your blog that relates to the prompt - it can be a story, a poem, a picture -- anything you want it to be.

4. Go back here and add the URL from your post to the linky list on Brenda's.

5. Go check out the other bloggers who have added their links to the list.

6. AND most of all.... Have fun!

This Week's prompt:               time
Oh, if I could only slow time down! I've written about it before - the fact that time has just crept up on me. How did I get to be this old? How can my daughter be 29? Doesn't seem possible - didn't I just have her yesterday? That sweet little bundle in my arms....and now she's expecting. Where did it go, this TIME? And why don't I feel OLD? Why don't I act like my grandmother? Do I act like my grandmother? It feels like I should be 20 or so.

My grandson is 10 months old -  how is that possible? I don't know. It sure feels like it's flying by.

Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

This week's questions: 


1.  How did you ring in the new year? In my bed, watching TV.

2.  What is one thing you are looking forward to in 2013? Meeting both of my grandsons - one who will be a year old and one who should arrive in April.

3.  Steven Spielberg is quoted as saying, "All of us every single year, we're a different person.  I don't think we're the same person all our lives."  What say you? I agree, somewhat. We all grow and change throughout our lives but usually our basic values remain the same.

4. The Pantone color of the year for 2013 is emerald green. Like or dislike? Do you already own something this color?  Will you add something in this shade to your home or wardrobe in 2013?  Green is my favorite color so yes, I like but I don't think I have anything emerald green in my wardrobe - maybe I will add something.

5.  Speaking of emerald...what's your favorite gemstone? Peridot - green again - and my birthstone.

6. Share a favorite book or movie from 2012. Our fellow blogger,  Brenda's book, Skewered Halo was very good - I'm looking forward to the next one.

7.  What is something you want to tell yourself at the start of this brand new year? Just to keep on keeping on - taking one day at a time.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.Administrative leave is over- it's back to work tomorrow for me. We get 11 days off at Christmas which turned into 12.5 days off this year because of the big storm. With all that time off, you'd think that I could tell you lots of things I accomplished but sadly, I didn't really do much. I did finish a baby blanket and  rearranged the spare bedroom. That's about it.

Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.

Questions  

1. Do you make New Years resolutions?
2. What do you hope to accomplish this year?
3. Tell me about your favorite place to think, create, or just relax.
4. Are you a fan of old movies? (Like the ones that were originally black and white.)
5. Tell me something that made you happy since our last porch visit. If you're new to the chats, tell me something good that has happened to you lately.

My answers:

1.  No
2. Lots of little projects around the house - new grandson and a visit with my first grandson.
3. The mountains have always been "my place" -whenever I get really down or stressed, I find myself wanting to go home.
4. Yes, and I like them in black and white - for me they tend to lose some of their charm when they are colorized.
5. A long conversation with my son.
