Today I’ll keep in mind just how fortunate I am, rather than focus on the things i may be missing. . . .
Monday’s here again, and it’s brought with it another new week!
I hope that you’re able to make it a week to look back upon fondly in the future
The path to realizing our dreams is never smooth.
Invariably we encounter bends, turns, detours, and roadblocks.
Sometimes our frustrations make us want to give up the journey, but frustrations signal the need to pause for introspection and redirection.
Frustrations are promptings to search our souls even more deeply to find our power and purpose, and to live it.
Frustrations tell us that our thoughts and actions are not yet in harmony with our desires.
This gets us started for Monday’s Moments but before I start the next part I want to give credit where I stole the idea from.
When I first discovered one of my newer must reads Skye of The Skye’s the Limit had a feature where she allowed her readers
to ask her questions in her comments and she would answer them in the order they were received as her next post.
I gave you that opportunity last week and it is still open so if there is anything you have ever wanted to know about me now
tis your chance to ask.
Now for the first question which was asked by
Wendy of His Phoniex.
Are you ever on yahoo? LOL I never see you on, but then you are probably thinking the same about me. Invisibility option… helpful or hurtful?
Yes Phoniex most of the time my computer is on I will have yahoo on and you guessed my secret—I love that little Invisibility option.
and use it ALL the time.
Helpful or hurtful—it is helpful for me!
Please feel free to send me message and I will respond. The reason I stay invisible is Missy stole my ability to multi task without pressure so
I chose to just one of the many features available and relieve some of the stress. I do enjoy chatting so just send me that shout and if
anyone else uses Yahoo IM let me know.
Sissy of The Whippoorwill Chronicles asked
When do you find time to write? Do you have a first draft or do you just “wing” it?
I try to make certain I have an hour or two every day that is devoted to just writing this is MY time. It is easy for me to find
time since I don’t have a lot of demands on me that many have being Medically retired due to Missy (Multiple Sclerosis)
Drafts are a “must” for me because one of the many things Missy plays with and impacts is my cognative abilities.
If you notice from time to time you might catch mistakes that I make where I will use be instead of me when I know
which is correct but at that time it does not register with Missy and sorry spell check only works on certain things—
another biggy is there instead of their or by instead of bye or buy.
It is a good thing you see my writing because there is times in my talking that I hesitate and it is because I have to really stop
and try to think of what to say next and sometimes it is lost. Yes Drafts are a Must.
Dawn of 4 Ever Dawn asked
I have never heard you talk much about food. What is your favorite food ? Your least favorite food ?
A very good question Dawn it depends on my mood and also there has been some change in my taste since Missy when it comes to “bitter, sweet, hot, and sour” .
I very much enjoy good fresh seafood and would have to say that is my favorite food to eat.
My least favorite food I think would be cooked carrotts, certain squash,and certain peas and beans.
Chocolate is a food? I so love chocolate and Walker sent me the very best….I loves you Walker.Thank you.
I will continue and answer the questions that have been asked. It is not too late, now is your chance.
You have just been given a golden opportunity—to ask me a question, Yes you can place me on the hot seat, interview me,
I know you have ONE question you have always wanted to ask me.
Now is your opportunity just leave me a question in the comment
You love me I know you do so show me some love.:heart:

I think the name Victoria is absolutely beautiful. However, if you could have a different name, what would it be?

Do I have to behave???
I guess I will behave. I know what your dad called you growing up but I think others would love to hear about it. I don’t think I know how it came about either… so spill it.
Love you - and thank you for your support. You NEVER are an intrusion and always love your phone calls.

What has been your most favorite and least favorite thing or activity to do in life?
You said we could ask anything and being a new guy here, that’s a good queestion to ask. However, I’d hate it if someone asked me that.

Hi Miss Vickie,
Just a quick hello.
June 26th, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Can we ask more than one? Do you have a favorite color and a favorite flower. If so what are they? Hugssssssss and have a great Monday!
June 26th, 2006 at 7:24 pm
Thanks for answering my question. It is really interesting, Vickie !
June 26th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
If you could have a meeting with the president of the US what would be the first question you would ask or the first thing you would say to him?
June 26th, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Thank you for the plug, Vickie, but I have to admit, the idea wasn’t original. In fact, our dear friend Walker suggested it to me (I was only teasing you in the comments in your previous post).
It’s been a lot of fun answering the questions, and some of them challenged me to be more open than I normally would be…in public, anyway.
What is something positive that has come out of you developing missy, as you called it?
June 27th, 2006 at 12:56 am
You are very welcome for the chocolate but its nothing to the time and your company that you have shared with me.
Of all you have seen,heard and done, what is the one thing that has given you the most pleasure in life?

No questions from me. I’ll read and learn of you from your words. Just keep blogging. I’ll get back when I can.

Hi Vickie ~~ Thanks for your visit and comments at my blog
Glad you get some smiles and enjoyed Why Worry.
Your friend Patrick sounds like a great guy. There are
so many wonderful people who do great things. It is sad
that mostly we only hear the bad news stories.
Take care, Merle.
