Here are the questions to this week's Hodgepodge. Play along by clicking 

HERE!

1. What's something you enjoy now that your younger self would never have appreciated? 

This is hard and I really had to give it some thought.  I was always on the go as a young person; I wonder If I would have appreciated this slower life I live now.

2. What was peaceful about today? 

Most of my days are peaceful, thank You Lord. I have so many things that bring peace to my world.

3. It's National Blueberry Day (July 8). Will you celebrate?  You can have one of the following right now-a slice of blueberry pie, a warm blueberry muffin, or a stack of blueberry pancakes...which do you choose?

No, I won't be celebrating, I don't care for blueberries.

This or that-blueberries or raspberries? blueberries or strawberries? 

None of the above.

4. Do you need a break? From what? 

I would like to take a break from COPD, a very long break!

5. What has surprised you most about getting older? 

"Older" has come so gradually I don't remember any surprises along the way.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Growing older may add a few creaks and quirks, but goodness, it also brings the sweetest kind of shine. It’s the sparkle that comes from knowing what matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and choosing joy anyway. And tucked inside all of it is the steady truth that God has walked with me every step, shaping my days, softening the edges, and filling each season with purpose. Maybe that’s the quiet gift of growing older: realizing His faithfulness has been the thread holding me together all along. So as I step into another week, I hope to laugh a little more, trust a little deeper, and rest in the gentle confidence that God is still writing good things into my story.

We used to have sacks, now we have bags.

When I opened the blinds this morning a beautiful ray of sunshine filled the room.  The morning sun always brightens my day. (even though it's so hot😎)

Hope everyone has a great day.
