[q+a] the week in review

[one]: right now, i'm not quite feeling ready to jump into the unknown possibilities with both feet. i am comfortable *and* dreaming. the twinge of complacency comes now and again, but i think it can easily come hand in hand with the mundane unless there is an intentionality of seeing the beauty in everyday [that intentionality can slip every now and again for me, so that's when the complacency might arrive].

[two]: coming from feeling so tired and sleepy all day everyday, i think i will welcome this little turn of events with open arms. i wasn't up all night, just up really early [really really early]. wide awake. i might just be able to use that time wisely if this insomnia continues [knock on wood].

[three]: everything in me screams C O F F E E ! but as of late i am only drinking tea, mostly green. apparently coffee can be mistaken in the body and throw the adrenal's off like crazy and in hopes of figuring out a solution to my normal thyroid tests with abnormal physical symptoms i am keeping my fingers crossed this hasn't all been in vain.

[four]: i'm sort of asking for advise on this one. last time i walked away from the friends business, the girls and i had a disgusting and unfriendly experience. i left thinking, i will never choose to go back there. perhaps i should gently share our experience and hope for change...not give up. and, in the meantime, local, just not friend local [i know, i didn't give that as an option for you] so i throw in going a little corporate for good...convenience.

[five]: i'm all about fiction right now. my tastes most definitely ebb and flow, but a good story that takes me somewhere, opens up new worlds, reveals hidden lives....well, i'm eating that up. next to the bed right now: 'elegance of the hedgehog' by muriel barbery.

[six]: i'd rather be a table. a big wooden round table that many would gather around. they'd be supported by me as they ate yummy homemade meals and sometimes mac-n-cheese straight out of the box. supported as they played cards sitting for hours chatting laughing and maybe even crying. a child might even carve their initials in me...staking their claim after their long ride over the prairie, days in their covered wagon, quilt top and sheets thrown over me. in return over the years i would get sanded and stained, which would feel like a great big happy massage and it would all start again....year after year, decade upon decade, century after century! this is my hope in being a table.

so there you have it, my take on each one. this week of "would you rather"was fun and there will be more where that comes from i am sure. on a different note, we've been doing a lot of celebrating the 12 days of christmas, executing new year resolutions, living and learning at it's finest, so perhaps i'll share a bit of that as well in the near future. thanks for visiting, thanks for reading, thanks for sharing your choice with the limited would you rather options, that's all part of the fun. have a fabulous weekend!
