2023 SYW: Week of September 11

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you like change?

No, I do not care for change. Change of seasons is expected, however, I would prefer to have spring or fall weather year-round. But then I would need to move to even come close to that happening. As far as other types of changes I would prefer not to have change, but if change was necessary then I would plan ahead and prepare myself accordingly for the upcoming change.


2. Can you remember the last time you had to use an operator service?

No, I cannot remember the last time I had to use an operator service. Now if you are referring to an automated customer service, then that is a different story. I hate automated customer service lines when you do not get the opportunity to speak with an actual person or have to go through a tremendous number of loops before the automation will transfer you to a live person. In that case, it would have been last month.


3. What is the best and worst ‘hold’ music you have had to listen to?

I would not know what the best or worst ‘hold’ music I had to listen to would have been. I tend to not listen to any ‘hold’ music.


4. Do you find numerous ‘options’ annoying when connected to an automated service?

Definitely. As stated previously, I abhor automated service regardless of whether it is automated customer service or any other kind. I would prefer to speak with a person whenever I had a problem or circumstance which needed attention immediately in order to be resolved.

Here are this week’s questions:

  1. How do you get on with your in-laws/partner’s family? Unfortunately, they are no longer around, and neither is my spouse. when were we first married, we got along well with one another but after we moved to a different state we drifted apart.
  2. What is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to you? I am not sure what the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. While I was working, I was always told I was dependable. Since I’ve been retired no one says much at all except for What’s for supper? Even so, I think the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me was “I love you!”
  3. What was your favourite ride/stall at a fun fair? It has been an extremely long time since I attended a fun fair. In fact, I do not think I have visited one since I was in my late teens. In the 1960’s my dad entered his model cars for display. He had some first-place ribbons for his model car displays. I do not ever remember going on any of the rides, only going through the exhibition halls looking over all the many various exhibits.
  4. Would you like to be a child growing up in today’s world? No, I would not like to be a child growing up in today’s world. Growing up without technology, being free to roam the neighborhoods without fear of violence was a wonderful time period in my life. It was a life of enjoying the outdoors and not glued to a phone, a computer, or anything. Loved riding my bike of handmade skateboard outside (No helmet necessary back then).

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you have a favourite time of year?

My favorite time of year is Springtime. I love to watch everything come back to life; the flowers beginning to bloom, the leaves 🍃 appearing all green and glowing, the birds returning singing their beautiful songs, the bees 🐝 feasting on flowers everywhere (except I don’t like them on me, I’m allergic to them). Autumn isn’t bad with all the fall colors as the leaves are turning red, orange and yellow. The fall colors make for beautiful landscape begging to be photographed.


2. What is your happiest memory?

I have many happy memories; not sure which memory I would select to be my happiest memory. I have happy memories of family vacations, visiting my dad’s family in the Carolinas (We lived in San Diego and would travel by car every three to five years to visit them.) Fun times at church summer camps; spending time at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park (It is now called San Diego Zoo Safari Park). Giving birth to my children; the list could go on and on. How can I choose just one to be my happiest memory? I am sorry, I just cannot.


3. If you could change something about yourself, what would it be?

If I could change something about myself; what’s the point I know I could never change anything about myself. Not really, only the Lord Jesus Christ can change me from within. He has the power to make be a more compassionate, understanding, and loving person from within allowing His spirit to shine through me.


4. Are you a tidy person (ie. everything in its place), or do you prefer a bit of clutter?

I would not consider myself to prefer clutter, but then again everything isn’t spotless and super neat. I know where everything is, and everything is in its rightful place (at least according to me).

Gratitude:

This week let’s focus on the kindness skill of gratitude. I am grateful to be able to share kindness with you. I am grateful.

Here are this week’s questions:

1. What makes you smile at the drop of a hat? My grandson is what brings a smile to my face at the drop of a hat. He can be aggravating at times when he doesn’t listen and follow through with what he has been told. At other times he will come up to be and ask for a hug. I could I resist. I can’t. I have to smile and give him his desired hug and tell him I love him.


2. What makes you angry? People that hurt other people and do not even realize their doing it. I’m not taking about hurting someone with physical violence, but instead by using insulting words, undue badgering, and a controlling nature.


3. What saddens you? Losing loved ones is what saddens me the most. Whether close or not doesn’t matter, as much as the sad fact that I’ll never in my lifetime see someone again, nor be able to talk with them. So much I would have like to have asked them and wish had spent more time with them. Even the departure of someone I considered a friend is heart breaking, it is saddening.


4. What do you find most frustrating? I am most frustrated about my inability to financially afford to do the travelling I so desire to do. I so thought that when I retired, I would be able to travel and see friends and loved ones I haven’t seen in a while. I had plans and then Covid it and shut everything down making it impossible to travel and see some of the people I had wanted to visit. It became impossible when they lost the battle of their lives due to Covid. Maybe someday my frustrations will be alleviated.
