Linking with From This Side of the Pond

Seldom do I do more than one post a day, 

but while visiting Simply Linda, 

but I thought I might join this linky party.

Random Wednesday 

From This Side of the Pond.

1.  What's the last foolish thing I did?

I played hopscotch down the steps

I missed a step and tumbled down the step

at the movie theatre a few weeks ago.

2.  What non-fiction are you reading?

I am reading Brene' Brown, 

Daring Greatly

It talks about how important it is to be vunerable.

To let yourself be known, to be real.  

The book has a few four-letter words that 

aren't in my vocabulary, 

but it's a great read with real-life truths. 

"We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives 

purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering."

I got really sad when I read this because there are so few 

people that I can be real with-too much judgement 

and not enough acceptance and unconditional love. 

I grew up with conditions as a PK.

But then I realized, 

I am real with my blogging friends.

Although you are far away, I love you

and treasure your friendships and pray for you

as I know you pray for me. 

3. Garlic or No Garlic?

Now, we don't hang in around the neck, 

but yes, love, love, love garlic.

4.  Spring Festival

I would have to choose the one in Knoxville, TN.

It's the closest to my children.

5.  How I Choose Which Blogs I Follow?

Honestly, I have a few that I truly connect with 

that I've gotten to know in just the past month or so.

Thank you, Mildred.

I search for blogs that are Shabby Chic, 

Spiritual, Rustic, Cottages, or like interests.

Photos are important too!

6.  When I last used Math?

Math?  What's that???

I guess I add, but do more subtracting when I

balance my checkbook.

7.  The Letter A?

Yesterday was an All-About-Me Day.

I had my nails done-

Shellac, french manicure

and my hair trimmed.

I went on a mini-shopping spree

and bought a pair of jeans. 

8.  A Random Thought about Me

If you follow my blog, 

you know I am absolutely in love with my family-

my husband and my children.

I have bipolar disorder.

I am either really happy 

or really sad.

Well, I used to me.

Now that we've found the right combination of meds, 

my dips and peaks are not so extreme. 

Thanks for letting me share, 

Bonnie:)

This smells soooo good!
I found it on my walk around the block today.
Does anyone know what it is???
