Day 15

Something or someone you couldn't live without, because you've tried living without it.....
Unlike some , Diet coke or coke or some type of drink is one that most might say, BUT NOT ME(okay maybe a frazzle?? jk )... No it is not food( everyone has to have this).... No it is not being single.(I have done this, obviously I don't enjoy it, but it is a way of life)...I can't put my son, because I have not tried living without him and I hope I never have to.... No it is not the Gospel, I have never turned my back from it or tried living without it.(not willing to take the chance)....
SO what is it that I could not live without??? that I have tried?:??
I know many things I do not ever want to live without, but I have not tried it..

Unless, I can say my father.... I am currently living without my father.... He passed away 3 years ago and I so don't like this.... So I will live each day the best I can so that I can be with him again some day.......

Day 14

A HERO that has let you down...
Do we even know what the word HERO means????
Well here I go to explain that:
WEBSTER DICTIONARY:
1.)a: a mythological or legendary figure often of divine descent endowed with great strength or ability
b: an illustrious warrior
c: a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities
d: one who shows great courage
2.) a: the principal male character in a literary or dramatic work
b: the central figure in an event, period, or movement
3.) an object of extreme admiration and devotion; idol

One a and b refers to Mythology and Legend... Since I really don't believe in those things it is hard for me to find a hero.... I did love the story of King Arthur.. though. I also loved Aphrodite, but I will never be her.
The 2 a and b refers to literature and drama. Most of my heroes there are fictional....
I have to say my favorite characters of women are both from the Taming of the Shrew, I love the Tenacity of Kate, and the Loving of the Bianca.....BUT since Shakespeare characters do not exist in real life I have to keep going on my hunt for a HERO...
So for number 3, something that I admire and devote to,,, well some would look at me and say it MUST be food, but that is not true.... I would have to say "Frazzle" A SLUSH drink... I love slushes and would have one everyday if I could.... Inspite of this, it is NOT my Hero.
So we will go back to 1c and 1d.....I admire many for their achievements and noble qualities... I also admire many who show great courage. There are many Historical figures such as: Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, John F. Kennedy, Rosa Parks, etc.. are all amazing individuals who have achieved much. I know that some of them did not always stay faithful to their spouses, but Everyone is human - not that that gives them the freedom to be stupid though... I just know that I have qualities that could be looked down upon also, so please look at the good things...
WHEN it comes to everyday heroes, I can list my grandparents, my parents, my sister, my brother and his family, my son and my husband.... I could list many of my friends as well.. AND YES, sometimes I have been let down by those I love, but I don't believe any one of my heroes to be vindictive or rude.. We are all HUMAN, and make mistakes, but they are all good people.
So my challenge was to find someone that has let me down I can't say that I have answered that.. but I have chosen to see the good in them and to honor them for their qualities...

Day 13

A band or an artist that has gotten you through some tough days......
Growing up I listened to my siblings music... Hermin and the Hermits, Barry Manilow, Dan Fogelberg, ABBA, Neil Diamond, Osmonds, STYX ....
As I got older I did not change much...
I do like to listen to a lot of country, jazz, hip hop, pop, soft rock, and such. I have NEVER liked RAP....
When I went through the loss of my first husband, the Osmonds and the Carpenters were the only 2 groups I could really listen to.
I have since found LOTS of people I like to listen to, but I think what I like most are the lyrics that make me feel good. I would have to say the LDS HYMNS and CHILDREN HYMNS are the ones that really speak to my heart...
I am really in to harmony so when I hear a great voice I could listen to that forever.... Thanks to my family for exposing me to great music while I was growing up....

Day 12

Something you never get compliments on....
I use to say my SEXY BODY,,, but I get that from manfriend now....
So let me see.....
My housekeeping, skinniness, being a perfectionist...

Which none of those will I ever get compliments on.. So I will not hold my breath...

Day 11

Something people seem to compliment you the most on... Well,,,, Long blonde hair,,,, nice hour glass shape,,, funny personality... Now if all of those were true that would be nice....

I am not really one that believes in compliments so I cannot answer this question at all....SORRY folks...

I guess one thing I love is that I love fix a spread for parties.. I do get compliments that I am a family person like my father and a cook like my mother....
I love that..
I get compliments from my family, but they are biased because they are my blood... Having all of my family in my life is truly the greatest compliment anyone could have.....

Day 10

Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn't know......
Not sure if I need to let go or if someone needs to let go of me....
I do believe that everyone comes into your life for a reason... sometimes we don't understand that reason, but we grow and learn eventually...
I know there are a few people in my life that are difficult to be around. We all have bad day. Often bad weeks or months. Sometimes it is even a year. We all hurt and struggle, but life is about how you deal with them...
I think my hardest is when one is stuck in a depressive mode or mood... They suck the life right out of me......
I don't think I despise anyone to the amount of not wanting them rid of, but out of my life would be nice...
I do have a couple that have stayed in my life longer than should have, and I HAVE NO CONTROL of getting them out of my life....but I do have control how much contact or how I let them affect me....
I know I have to learn to live and let live and not to let others bother me...
