List five things you do for fun.
Walking especially in a new area.
Spending time with my children and grandchildren.
Playing Words with Friends.
Watching tv.
Writing my blog every day on Facebook.
Maybe not everyone’s idea of fun but at 76 I’ve given up skate boarding, surfing and white knuckle rides. Lol Only joking.
What snack would you eat right now?
As I had a bad fall last week on the beach, while trying to get a close up of a heron, I haven’t been able to get out shopping. I bruised my ribs!
So not a lot of treats in the kitchen.
But this afternoon on further investigation discovered a bag of Tayto cheese and onion crisps ( potato chips). There was some fresh white bread so I buttered 2 slices of bread and put the crisps on top and had a crisp sandwich. 🥪 Delicious. 🤤
Try it you won’t regret it. 😉
What is your mission?
A hard question to answer! Globally or locally?
To be happy, healthy and to treat others as I would want to be treated. To love and be loved. To live a good life. To make my family proud.
When I look around this world I see the hate that exists. The fact that nobody seems to be able to deal with the perpetrators, makes me feel that things that I can control are small in comparison.
The mission of many of our leaders are governed by power, by wealth and with no consequences as to how they achieve their goals.
In a just and democratic society Trump and his fellow dictators would be arrested, tried and put in prison but they have bought the judiciary, fixed elections and their mission is to destroy the world order and to take control.
So my mission has to be family and community oriented and to live in hope that the dictators will not succeed.
What could you do differently?
I could have avoided going down slippery steps to the beach on the third day of the new year and I wouldn’t have slipped and fallen down same steps, winding myself and ending up with severely bruised ribs.
Great start to the 2026 after having the worst year of my life in 2025.
Strong painkillers and rest will help but very frustrating not to be able to move about freely.
So next time I see a heron and want a photo I will avoid slippery, wet concrete steps to get it.
Happy New Year lol
