Monday, Monday…they say we can’t trust this day, but it only comes once a week, so let’s just make the best of it, shall we?
One fun thing we can do to make Monday a bit merrier is to “Share Our World” with interesting questions and answers.
So, without further ado, we’re off and running.
Question 1: What was one of my first money-making jobs?
I spoke Spanish while growing up — I’ve always been fascinated by languages — so when a friend struggled with Spanish class in the last year of Junior High, her parents hired me as a tutor. I also acted as substitute teacher in Spanish class but I didn’t get paid for that.
Question 2: What is my favorite month of the year?
Without a doubt, my favorite month is October, which happens to be the month in which we celebrate my favorite holiday. I love everything about October, especially the vibrant colors. The weather is crisp, but not too cool. There’s always an atmosphere of mystery in the air.
Question 3: What three things in nature do you I find most beautiful?
- Trees
- Rivers
- Rocks
Question 4: List at least five of my favorite spices.
I love cooking, so I love all spices. I use a lot of fresh herbs from my garden. Favorite spices — and herbs — include cinnamon, coriander, dill, sage, and cumin. I cook a lot of Mexican food, so chili powder and crushed red peppers also get a lot of use in my kitchen.
Bonus question: What am I grateful for from last week, and what am I looking forward to in the week coming up?
I’m grateful that we got to spend time with our great-grandson, Mason. That’s his grandmother, Gabrielle, holding him, although you can’t see her.
In the coming week, I’m looking forward to celebrating a very special day. June 9 marks the one-year “anniversary” of the day I decided I would learn to draw. It’s been a remarkable year, and I’ve become part of a wonderful online art community that extends around the world. Please join me at Artistcoveries, my art blog, on Thursday to celebrate with me.
Now, I’m off to the kitchen. I’m fixing beef and bean quesadillas for dinner today, so some of those favorite spices will be jumping off the shelf.
May your life be filled with many bright and beautiful blessings this week.
