It lags and barely keeping pace.

What determines the extent of your happiness? What you have or what you have not? What you are or what you are not?

For me: the woman who doesn't care. I'm used to people who nag.

How long does it take you in the pursuit of happiness to realize that you have already arrived?
post #249 of 953
7/8/12 at 9:07pm
My goal for happiness tends to spiral upwards so I am still chasing. I think the day I arrive will be the day I stop chasing it which sounds very silly but true.

25, almost 26.

Young people these days are often living at home for some time after college to save money before moving out on their own. By what age would you expect your own kids to move out?
post #252 of 953

All my kids moved out permanently as soon as they entered university and started their own life away from home.

How much responsibility should teenagers be given today?

incrementally more, according to what they show themselves able to handle, which will vary from teen to teen.

What do you learn from the younger generation in your family?

My son has taught me how to be young ,up to date , maintain a sense of humor . He has shown me a child's pure sense of God, loving kindness and I leant what a 'complete love' is. I've seen the world and everything in it through the eyes of an innocent .

Loyalty, Honesty and a team player.

If you had a profound dream where God came to you holding a white rose and told you to move to the Red Sea and become a fisherman as part of some divine plan. And when you awoke you found that white rose on your bed, would you do it?

The desire would be there, but I am not sure the capability to satisfy would.

My gym offered a Jive class that I really enjoyed - got pretty good at it. When my membership ran out, I stopped going. Then the class was discontinued. I’d like to get into it again.

I try and stay in the present though the past bites me in the rear sometimes and the future is always looking to hit me square between the eyes . I try and stay in the present because basically it is all that exists .

Are you good at multi tasking ? Does it come naturally or is it a skill you learnt through trial and error ?
post #280 of 953
7/10/12 at 12:04pm
I consider myself good at multitasking. I learned it from my mother, God rest her soul, who, like all mothers, by necessity had to be proficient in it.

I am also good at multi tasking and learnt it through being a nurse .

How is your penmanship ? Has it suffered through use of the keyboard and texting ?
post #282 of 953
7/10/12 at 12:46pm
I consider it good.
I always liked my father's penmanship, and I always tried to emulate it, without ever acknowledging how impressed I was with it. I wish that I had told him inasmuch as it is such a part of me, as I am today.
I do not think that it has been affected with the use of a keyboard, since I was accustomed to using a typewriter before anyway.


Are you impressed with a braggart, and why?
post #283 of 953
7/10/12 at 1:16pm
Braggarts have never impressed me and never will. I learnt from young that being a braggart is very embarrassing and off putting really. I have a close relative who is the biggest braggart and from a young girl I have always said that one must never ever fall into the ' Braggart Trap ' . There is nothing worse than someone who brags and boasts .
As Owen D. Young said : " Where boasting ends, there dignity begins. "

I need to learn how to "let it be"; to accept what cannot be improved by effort on my part.

For most things yes, but not everything.

What's the most valuable thing or highest value item you inadvertently pick up on a street, sidewalk, or grassy area?

Tomatoes, hate those but love salsa and ketchup, go figure. And seafood, like squid, anything squooshy. blech. Oh and liver, lamb, veal(stuff I never tried and never will).

If anything, what do you want to change about yourself?
post #297 of 953
7/10/12 at 4:04pm
Ha! I love all foods-- even the caterpillars I ate in Africa, love squid, lamb, liver and everything else. I suppose it is vain to wish I liked food less.

So I'll go with, I want to get back in shape.

Were you raised in a home where food choices were limited by your parents' tastes?

Caterpillars in Africa? Wow.

Not really, it was more like whatever was available..that's what I would have.
