Thank you to Joyce at "From this Side of the Pond" for our fun and interesting hodgepodge of questions each week!
1. They say you learn something new every day. What did you learn yesterday?
It was one of those situations where I thought I was the only one that was noticing something going on and it turns out I wasn't. I also learned The third movement in Tai Chi 9 "cutting through to clarity". I'm learning how to do the walk with it, but I need a lot of work on putting it together.
2. Have you ever had a now or never moment? Elaborate.

Probably but I really can't think of one at the moment
3. April 25th is National Telephone Day. Do you still have a land line or have you gone mobile only? When you receive a text message do you respond immediately? Last time you turned your phone off? In two or three sentences share with us a story/memory/incident from your childhood (or something current if that's too hard) where the telephone is featured.
We have gone to mobile only. It depends on who is messaging me or what they want as to whether I'll answer right away. I can't remember the last time I turned off my phone. Childhood? Well, I remember sitting on the floor next to our black rotary dial phone with the short cord talking to my best friend for long periods of time every evening. We had been with each other all day and yet we had to talk out every detail of that day on the phone each night and plan what we were going to wear to school the next day.

4. Close call, at someone's beck and call, call the shots, call a meeting, call it quits, call in sick, call on the carpet, wake up call...which call have you 'heard' recently? Explain.
Today over breakfast my friend told me she is getting closer and closer to calling it quits with our church and moving on to find a new body of believers with which to worship.
5. What subject do you wish you'd paid more attention to in school?
History
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I had Tai Chi class tonight and I'm so tired. I can't believe those small movements can make me so tired and relaxed. Night, night!
I need to get into Tai Chi - I've heard so many wonderful things about it. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your HP answers, Julie! Tai Chi seems to be "the thing" right now. I'm glad you are enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteI remember spending hours chatting with a friend I'd just spent all day with too. Now I do my best not to be on the phone at all : )
ReplyDeleteThere is so much to learn from history that helps us in our decisions today. I understand your desire to have paid more attention to that subject in your younger years. I feel much the same.
ReplyDeleteI feel that I did okay learning American History, but I sure seemed to miss out on World History.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how attached we are to phones today compared to having that one line and if you were on it no one could reach you. I do however still love a landline, I just don't like talking on the cell phone. Sorry to hear that about your friend but if there are a lot of changes going on people will end up leaving. I said History too!
ReplyDeleteI have never done Tai Chi, but have done Pilates for years. I have heard some really good things about it, like it really helps with balance. I am working on that with various Pilates/Yoga moves/exercises.
