What would you change about modern society?

A show of a little kindness where nothing is wanted in return. No strings attached is true kindness.

Dogs or cats?

I think cats are cute, but I am allergic. Sorry.

I love my dogs. My dogs are so loyal and love me in return.

Besides, they are so cute.

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

I would invite the love of my life only if I knew who he was.

I am working on it, but pickings are slim. Looking for a good man is like going to the market after a super sale. The leftovers are all spongy, saggy specimens you give a pass.

That is why I am not looking, but I leave it all to the Lord to order everything, so at the right time and place, I meet this paragon of man.

I can choose a dress, a cute pair of shoes and a good book but for goodness sakes my future man radar isn’t very good.

It’s best to leave it all to God. He knows what is best for me.

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

I am an early riser. I was never that way, but after being in the workforce and commuting to work early, my body now has a time clock for early rising.

I don’t think it makes me healthy or wise it only makes me long for my bed every morning.

I rise at 4 am. and do my devotions, exercise, and then jump in the shower. I get breakfast, and if I have time before I rush out of the house, I play with my dogs.

I can’t sleep for more than six hours 30 minutes. If I get seven, I am doing well. I get in bed at about nine or nine thirty. I try to shut my thinking off, but my mind is still going on overtime.

On my days off, I do my regular six hours, then stay in bed to add more to my sleep. Most days it works great, and I get up refreshed. I usually can’t go over seven hours. I get headaches and feel foggy.

But I take naps in the middle of the day to recharge my mind and body.

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

There’s nothing like a good afternoon nap to fire up those little gray cells. We work hard, and we play hard at times the body needs to slow down and take a break. If I could take a quick nap after eating lunch or on the train ride home, that helps me to feel relaxed and comfortable.

In the morning, I need to stretch, or my body starts to protest. A good stretch not only rebalances my body and stretches my muscles. It helps to soothe me so I can walk and run with ease.

I also take time to dream. Day dreaming can be so peaceful leaving a smile on my face because I am in control of my situations. That is cool.

When I do these things, they make me mindful of my blessings, and I give thanks to the Lord.

What are you most excited about for the future?

My goal is to live well in the future. 

What I consider well is having good health, financial freedom, and companionship because I need some socialization and finally a life that pleases the Lord.

I don’t think I need to expand on what I just wrote. It is as simple as can be.

How do you express your gratitude?

I like to say my thanks to a person I know has shown me kindness. Sometimes a simple thanks is not always enough, so I my send them a note or give them a simple gift. The gift does not have to be expensive it could be as simple as a coffee and a sinfully good pastry. Yum.

Mostly, I bring them up in my prayers and ask the Lord for a special blessing for them.

When I think back on acts of kindness in my life, I remember that person or the act itself because I may not know who did what for me. When I remember, I smile, and I give thanks for that moment.
