I have meant to do or have half-done about 10 Friday Fill-Ins over the past few months, but have either never got round to it, or just couldn't pluck anything good from my brain with which to complete it. So I've collated all my unanswered questions into one mammoth Friday Fill-In compilation!
So...here we go!
1. The best thing about a birthday celebration is feeling grateful for another year of life and knowing there are people who care for you.
2. As you get older, the faster goes the passage of time.
3. I went shopping recently and the most interesting thing I bought was clothes I didn’t need and couldn’t afford. Not so much interesting, as worrying.
4. My favourite child's game was British Bulldog.
5. The reason is it was fun/active/scary/exciting!
6. Thank goodness the snow and cold didn’t prevent me from going on holiday!
7. What in the world would I be doing now, if I’d had a bit more drive/ambition/ability/passion/courage?
8. My week-long January holiday in Taba, Egypt, was when I remember being consistently well fed.
9. Go and do what you love most. If you can make a living doing so, even better.
10. Yesterday, I sent off 5 pairs of shoes that I had sold on eBay. The de-cluttering continues!
11. I keep trying to be better, but it’s one step forward and three steps back.
12. You're going to get older whether you like it or not. So learn to like it, I say.
13. It's 2011; I am psyched, determined and ready!
14. If you don't want yours, I am always available to eat your pickles.
15. Thankfully I have my health (for the most part).
16. Loved ones, happiness, good food, children, creativity, music, patience, compassion and open-mindedness are the best things in life.
17. I am so stupid with money.
18. It’s been too long since I ate a huge bowl of ice-cream. Haagen-Dazs, this needs to change.
19. So many of us go through the same difficulties without even knowing it.
20. It's easy to have faith in the good times, but a test of true faith is maintaining it even in hardship.
21. Those who are accepting of others just as they are will find acceptance in return.
22. Inside that cloud, the silver (and sometimes gold!) lining is waiting quietly.
23. Light is in both the day and the night, if you look hard enough.
24. Occasionally, someone will unexpectedly give you an extraordinary view of all that is ordinary.
26. I really have to avoid catching the cold that's going around.
27. Coats and scarves, mittens and boots: if only I could also wear them indoors, as the office is always freeeeeezing.
28. I can't keep relying on Samson's good nature to give me a nice back rub. I need to book a proper deep-tissue massage to sort my back out!
29. I'm thinking about what I need to get done this weekend/week/month/year and am trying to stay motivated.
30. Spring will always be my favourite time of year.
31. We are on this earth because God created us to live here. Thankfully, not for long. Can't wait to go home!
32. Your life is a precious one-off experience.
33. One of the hardest things for me to learn is delayed gratification.
34. Check out The Foreign Exchange if you want to feel connected.
35. I remember lots of fun times from childhood. I'm so grateful my parents took me and Big Sis on holiday to so many different places.
36. Sleep is one of the best parts of my life. That's pathetic, but true at the moment.
37. Family are inspiring and infuriating, all at the same time. But they're the blood in my veins, so what can you do?!
38. Every relationship (romantic and otherwise) has its ups and downs.
39. Trust your head. Hearts lie!
40. Sometimes things seem to happen for inexplicable reasons, but it usually turns out for the best, even if we don't find that out until years later.
41. Parents are interesting creatures and beings of great responsibility and influence.
42. It would have to be a very nasty argument for me to remember exactly what was said.
43. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to seeing True Grit with the boy, tomorrow my plans include my third counselling session, which I'm a little anxious about and Sunday, I want to get some laundry done before going to see The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest!
