12 Things About Me--My Responses to A Writing Prompt from Granny Janny H.

 I read this article from Georgiana's post which she got from Granny Janny H.  So here are my responses.

1.  What do you ache for? 

          Time and peace

2.  What would you risk or have you risked for love?

          I have risked family approval for love.

3.  What is the current state of your psyche?

          Ha, ha, haaaaa!  Oh, you're serious.  I can still tie my own shoes and drive myself to the store.  I guess my psyche's functional.

4.  How do you cope with pain?

          Emotional-A deep cleansing cry, writing about it in a metaphorical way, and prayer.

          Physical-Grin and bear it, Ibueprofin, and a heating pad if applicable (moaning helps a little)

5.  What is the wildest thing you've ever done?

          Agreed to marry I guy I only knew for 2 months-eeh, he wasn't so bad, 15 years later we're still together and I love him more.

6.   What is the biggest lie you've ever told?

          Probably had something to do with money I spent that my husband told me not to....shhhhh!

7.  What beauty did you notice today?

          My 7-year-old granddaughter asked me for a mint, I gave her 1 and she left her hand open, as she always expects to get 2.  After getting the extra 1 she went over to her 3-year-old sister and put it in her little mouth.

8.  How do you deal with failure?

          I usually laugh and decide whether it's worth another go or not.

9.  Have you ever been a hero or a shero...heroine?

          My daughter thinks I am.

10.  What's the bravest thing you've ever done?

          I told a team of specialists that I didn't like the 3 grim choices they gave me for my brain injured 2-month-old grandson and offered them my option instead.  He lived and he's thriving.

11.  What keeps you going every day?

My faith, my husband and my 3 beautiful grandkids.

12. Are you comfortable with being alone?

          Why?  Do you know how I can get away with it?!
