1. Thursday marks the first day of spring...to celebrate would you rather plant a garden or go for a walk in the woods? Would either of those activities be possible on Thursday where you live?
I would love to go for a walk in the woods ! Planting a garden would be good too but no, neither activity is even remotely possible yet as we have many feet of snow on the ground and more falling as I type.
Yesterday. My dear friend and mentor told me he is considering moving to Arizona. I can't imagine my music without him right now.
3. We often think of spring as a time for new beginnings. What's something you'd like to start doing this spring?
Ride my bicycle a little every day.
4. Where do you like to sit in a movie theatre? When did you last sit there, and what were you watching?
We don't go often at all - I'd rather watch a movie in the comfort of my own home and in my pj's. When we do go we usually sit somewhere in the middle and near an aisle. I honestly don't remember the last time, I think it was for the last Harry Potter movie - I'm not much of a fan so I only went because the rest of my family wanted me to go.
5. When you meet someone for the very first time, what do you want them to think about you?
It is my hope they would find me exemplifying a "gentle and quiet spirit".
6. March is frozen food month (yes, really!). Besides ice cream (gotta make you think a little) what's your most often purchased frozen food item?
That's easy - frozen vegetables.
Driving in the winter. I only drive within a certain perimeter of my home. If someone needs me to out of that perimeter, they can come and get me.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
I've been thinking a lot about my mentor possibly moving away and this thought has come to my mind often today because I may forget some of what he told me, but I won't forget how he makes me feel

People will forget what you said
People will forget what you did
But people will never forget how you made them feel.

I've always liked that quote. It's so true. I like your idea for watching movies, we don't go to theater much.
ReplyDeleteYour mentor certainly did spring some 'not so good' news on you. I know you will miss him so much. Sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of your answers will match mine. I was just getting ready to type mine up, so don't think I'm copying you. hahaha I think we just see some things the same way.
I love that quote too. I think of it often when I'm with people.
You have a good day, Julie. ♥
Sorry that your mentor will be moving away...I know that will be a tough time for you. So happy you've joined Hodgepodge...nice to "meet" you! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your 'random thought' and quotation.
ReplyDeleteWe don't go to movies much either. I'm with you, in that I'd rather watch them at home with my PJs on, and where I can pause it to go get more chocolate from the kitchen. :)
I don't like driving in the winter either. My husband advised me to only drive as fast as I'm comfortable sliding into the ditch. I prefer not to slide into a ditch at all. :) We have narrow very winding roads so having cars and ditches meet is not unusual. Thankfully I never visited a ditch, but I still prefer driving in nice weather.
ReplyDeleteNice to "meet" you through the Hodgepodge :) I like the color turquoise too. That is a beautiful quote you shared and I agree!
ReplyDeleteYour #8 is so true!! And with internet, Skype, etc., you will still be in touch with him and he can even watch you play. It's a very small world these days! I enjoyed your Hodgepodge, Julie!!
ReplyDeleteHope your mentor makes the right decision and I know you will support him all the way. Keeping in touch can still work.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried to reply to your note to me, it said 'no reply blogger,' so I clicked on your name and it took me to a Google+ page which wouldn't let me comment. Just thought I'd let you know. So now I'm going to try to follow your blog with Feedly so I can get your posts daily. Google+ does this to me every time I go to a Google+ page. Grrr. And BY THE WAY, I would love to hear you play the pipe organ. My daughter plays the gigue by Bach that you mention on your page. I love that piece!
ReplyDeleteNo. I'm not a member of Google+ and won't join. I don't like it because only Google+ members are allowed to leave comments there. Have you thought about enabling your email in your blog profile so people could reach you? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI like your answer to #5, and that's what I hope people see in me too. Hoping spring springs soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Julie!I Found you on the Hodgepodge list. Always happy to meet a new sister in Christ! And I believe the quote is true!
