How are you creative?
There are so many ways to be creative. I enjoy creating a reading journal , using a graphics program and creating tags online from digital scrapbook kits and baking. I also enjoy plotting out a flower and vegetable garden once the danger of frost is past.
Who are the biggest influences in your life?
My family. My family is always there to encourage me along the way. Just as I encourage them.
What cities do you want to visit?
Several years ago I really wanted to go to Boston and we did passing, through New York as we did. Boston is a large city and we walked and walked. It’s so beautiful there.
My newest destination I want to visit is NYC. I live in a rural area and don’t see a lot of big city life very often and I’m just fine with that but sometimes I like to experience the busier side of things.
We live 3 hours from DC.
An overseas trip I’d love to go on would be Galway, Ireland, from where my great grandmother traveled to America as a sixteen year old for the start of a new life.
Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?
I’ve done the necessary stage performances in school but as far as seeking out performances or publicly speaking, no way. I am not interested in drawing attention to myself.
What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?
My current favorite is walking especially when it involves scenic hiking in the woods. We really have some beautiful woods in Pennsylvania and the views looking down into the spectacular valleys are remarkable.
What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Kindness towards other people and animals is something I’ll always admire.
There are a lot of things I could do less of but a big time waster I do is scroll and read news articles. I am interested in keeping up with news, local, in my country or international news there’s always something going on.
Like the local news of a grandma who fell in a sinkhole in Pennsylvania looking for her cat. There are a lot of sinkholes caused by past mining here in Pennsylvania. This mine hadn’t been mined in over seventy years and she stepped on the ground and fell in they assumed. 4 days later they found her body in the mine thirty feet down. I don’t know if the family is going to sue or not.
Lets see what other news articles am I following? The guy that shot the healthcare CEO in NY. There seems to be a lot of news on that and NYC police have now gone to Atlanta to work with the police there to try to find some clues. My guess is he didn’t even get on the bus in Atlanta.
And another local news thing overnight a food truck sitting outside of its owners home exploded causing damage to their house. No cause of the damage has been released.
News is fascinating and that’s why I can’t stop scrolling.
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
Yes I do, but it’s actually a tie. I think North Carolina and Maine are equally unique and beautiful. 🥰🌄🏞️
Are you more of a night or morning person?
While I do enjoy the evening when the house becomes quieter and relaxation can set in I also love the morning in all its new found fresh glory. The rising of the sun, the dew on the grass, the chirping of the birds and the stillness of an early morning in the country.
What are your feelings about eating meat?
Answering the daily prompt ❓❓❓❓❓
So my mother has been a vegetarian for as long as I’ve known her. I was not and she didn’t try to influence me to become one either.
I became one , it’ll be six years in April of next year. I am a lover of animals and have watched many documentaries on animal suffering and what they go through so we can eat them and this includes birds and fish as well. I decided I could not contribute to this cruelty anymore. It’s better for the environment not to eat meat as well. My health has improved and I have more energy not eating meat. Luckily I enjoy many fruits and vegetables and plant based foods. I think they are delicious.
