What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
View all responses

I last searched online for a new-to-me [refurbished] cell phone. Not being all that tech-savvy, I was unaware, that the phone I’m currently using no longer receives security updates or support through the provider. Thank goodness I stumbled upon an article just a few days ago, discussing this topic, and yada yada yada, the new-to-me phone is on its way, scheduled to arrive today. Keep your fingers crossed, that the switch and setup will work without problems 📱🤞

Three Out Of One

What’s your favorite recipe?
View all responses

It’s not a recipe, per se. It’s a dough made from greek yogurt, flour, herbs of choice and a pinch of salt. With this I make my own pizza, rolls [without the herbs and rolled oats instead – but not necessary] or tortilla style wraps, filled with whatever I have on hand. Of course the pizza doesn’t taste like the one you get from your local Italian restaurant, or even the frozen one from your nearby grocery store. But it’s made at home from scratch with basic ingredients. Not only do you know exactly what’s in it and you can flavor it according to your personal tastes, but you also have three options of what to make from this dough. Easy, done in a jiffy and versatile. Perfect, for me anyway.

Driving Force

What motivates you?
View all responses

What motivates me? Love, very simply.
The powerful force, that keeps me going is the abundance of love I have for animals, my own in particular. And then, it’s the love for a select few people, who truly have importance and meaning in my life. Lastly, I want to include the love for something, that is relevant to my everyday happiness, namely music. Without love in my heart I’m lost, there’s no interest and motivation to start something, or to keep it going.

🎞 Must love dogs
🎞 The proposal
🎞 Sweet Home Alabama

It appears that I’m quite the romcom girl. Truth is that I also like a lot of suspense/drama genre movies. But it’s interesting indeed, that the lovey-dovey, funny type movies popped into my head first. Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic day!!

In Hot Water

“A woman is like a tea bag, you never know
how strong it is until it’s in hot water.”

And don’t I know it, too!? More than once I found more strength within myself, than I ever thought possible. Have a lovely Sunday!!

Remember this song from 1984? The remix sounds terrific. Anyway, I still like this song as much today as I did back then, in both versions. Have a good night and an enjoyable, relaxing Sunday!!

What brings you peace?
View all responses

Very irregularly there are a few seconds, when everything around me seems to come to a screeching halt. It is a moment of silence, that does not require a yoga mat and “om”, or hugging a tree. It happens on any given day, during random activities. Most often I experience these few seconds when I’m in a sad or worried state of mind, but not absolutely always. Anyway, I pause for that moment and usually close my eyes. In a matter of those few seconds I am actively aware that life will always have horrible, “normal” and fantastic days. Then, that well known and much loved whisper from way down deep reminds me, that “it’s going to be all right”. Pretty much every time I have these moments, I can’t help but smile, while a comforting feeling within spreads through my body. Just an instant later it’s back to the “regularly scheduled programming”, with the exception that I find myself in a better mood and with a more positive outlook towards the future. Those are my “moments of peace”.

I Respectfully Decline

What profession do you admire most and why?
View all responses

Each individual profession is important and deserves to be acknowledged and respected. I find it impossible and unfair to choose one. Soldiers are willing to give their lives to protect us. Fire fighters and police officers do the same. Medical professionals go to, and often beyond, their limits to care for us. How about the dedicated, empathic staff at hospitals and nursing homes? Not to mention all of the overwhelmed and overworked teachers, who give it their all every day?
I could keep going, like the energizer bunny….And therefore, I respectfully decline to highlight one single profession when there are so many, deserving of recognition, because we could not do without either one of them.

Clean Slate

Today’s Sunday Quote is exactly what I have written about a time or twenty-five by now, only worded much better…

“But there was a special kind of gift that came with embracing the chaos, even if I cursed most of the way. I’m convinced that, when everything is wiped blank, it’s life’s way of forcing you
to become acquainted with and aware of who you are now, who you can become.
What is the fulfillment of your soul?”
– Jennifer DeLucy

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a lovely Sunday!!

If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
View all responses

Good morning and happy Sunday to begin with…

If I were to open up a shop, I would sell handmade products for dogs like blankets, beds, collars and leashes, toys, dog ice cream and treats, etc., you get the idea. It may not be a realistic option, especially if everything is made by myself. But the passionate dog lover that I am, what else would I do? 🐾💗
