Thoughts to Ponder
I have been trying to figure out what I am really doing and where I really want to go, right? So I started thinking last night and the following questions popped into my head. I would love to hear your answers…
- If all the ties that bind you were broken, what would you do?
- A few close friends or lots of casual acquaintances? Which do you have and which would you prefer?
- The future. Hopeful or depressing?
- Which do you prefer to watch, the sunrise or the sunset?
- The time of year you enjoy most - Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter?
- And the old standby, chocolate or vanilla?
These were just some of the things I was trying to use to define where I am and where I want to be. OK, the chocolate / vanilla thing just kind of popped in there and sounded fun. For the record, I know it is boring, but in ice cream I am a vanilla person. In cakes, candies, and most other foods I am a chocolate person. Very deep, rich, dark chocolate.
So, come on and let me know where you are on these!

1. I wouldn’t change a thing about my life right now. We’ve discussed maybe moving out of the States, but other than that, not a thing.
2. Few close friends. I’ve always been that way. I want those people that I can call at 2am bawling my eyes out or something.
3. Extremely hopeful for me personally. Globally, I worry.
4. Sunrise. I like the feeling of a new day. Sunset, I’m usually panicking about what I didn’t get done.
5. Fall, 100%. The crisp air and the colors are like a wonder of Mother Nature to me.
6. The answer is always chocolate, Michael. Always. (Um, and it’s MILK chocolate.)
I am sooooo sad. There I thought you were the perfect woman, but then you go and say “milk” chocolate. Sad. Very sad. Don’t you know it has to be dark chocolate?
Actually though, I agree with all of your other answers except #1. Of course if I had an ideal life like you I would be in agreement with #1 also.
1. Travel, travel, and travel some more!
2. Why have few when you can have many close friends?
3. Positively hopeful
4. Sunset, something about reflecting on a day well done
5. Spring…new life, hills are green, flowers budding
6. Chocolate - Dark, Dark Chocolate
Elise, I have to agree with #1! Can’t get enough travel. But number 2… I have a problem with having a few good friends, I have no idea how I would balance many. That would be a good thing for me to work on.
