When do you feel most connected with others? When I am communicating with them via written correspondence – be it an email, a messenger program or a hand-written letter. I can express myself better this way and my internal chatter doesn’t get in the way of my writing like it does if someone is speaking to me.
What daily habit would you like to introduce to your life? Walking each day. I do this sporadically, but would love to make it a daily habit.
What one mini-little-adventure would you like to have in the coming week? The Indigo Girls will be in concert nearby. I would love to have the money to see them, but it just isn’t going to happen this time.
List at least of things or events that changed your Life: It could be as simple as a book or meeting a certain person?

- Leaving my husband and moving back home to VA in 2014
Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week? Wow, I barely remember last week. Nothing major occurred that I can recall. I guess I am grateful that I recognized the need for a day off and took one on Friday.
and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? hopefully getting the garden planted and having the creative flow to keep writing
Walking is something I should be doing more of. I was walking daily for a while and have now back slidden.
Good luck getting back into the flow… it is definitely something I need to get back into doing. Thanks for sharing with me, Joseph!
And thanks for sharing your world.
ah, indeed.. my pleasure 🙂
I agree Neil Diamond is a legend… Still love him in the film “The Jazz Singer”.
Thank you! I so love him. Have since I was a young child. I have everything he has ever put out and always keep up to date about him. He is my first great love. I had a huge crush on him as a child and still get that warm-fuzzy feeling if I see him. *laughs*
Yes he still looks great!
Neil Diamond. I so loved seeing him in concert. You just felt like it was you and him and no one else.
I agree.. he does seem to invoke that feeling in his concerts. I would love to see him one more time.
He stole my heart right out from under Drollery the week before we got married! LOL
Hahaha… he does have a way of stealing one’s heart.. he stole mine at age 10 😉
