Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

…recognize the true importance of a single moment in time, the instant when you are fully and completely alive!

Friday’s Feast 153

Appetizer
Describe a toy you remember from your childhood. My kind-of-like-a-Barbie-but-not-really-one “Mindy.” She was my favorite. Until my little brother bit her foot off. She was a ballerina. Lost all her “ballerina-ishness” after that : )

Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest) how observant are you? I’d say about an 8 on average. Depends what it is. If it’s your house…a 12, if it’s something else, maybe a 6-8.

Salad
Where would you rather be at this very moment? Considering it’s midnight…bed. If not there, at the lake. Which I will be in 8 days…yipee!!!

Main Course
When was the last time you learned something new? Almost everyday I learn something new. I have 2 little kids after all. They teach me new things all the time. Sometimes it’s about them, sometimes it’s about me, sometimes just about life : ) Learning and growing that’s the name of the parenting game and the game of life in general.

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have ____________ but I haven’t ____________. I have eaten supper, but I haven’t cleaned off the table yet. Ha! Yeah, I know it’s midnight. I’m sure as heck not going to do it now. Unless it cleans itself, it will still be there in the morning. Sorry, no deep thought on that one tonight. Good night all and happy feasting!

  5. Very thoughtful feast.
    Loved your main course. You can learn so much from children.
    How funny about your Mindy doll. You must have been furious with your brother!

  10. Children and teens *are* wonderful teachers. As a middle and high school teacher, I learn something new every day.

    Thank you for visiting my blog and my FF. Have a great weekend!
