“Days Go By” and Blake Shelton’s “Came Here to Forget” were some
selections I managed to play from sheet music.

Ben & Jerry’s ‘Cherry Garcia’ is my favorite flavor.

Currently I’ve been reading a potpourri of genres and learning the practice

alone time.

Ans: Yes, I ate ‘ALL’ parts without fuss.

‘Chicago’ live and gave them to a relative.

Share Your World – Feb. 8th 2021

Prompt: Questions and Answer

1. In your opinion do May/December romances ever work?
   Ans: Age isn’t always a determining factor of forever after. If the younger
   person in the relationship is mature enough and both individuals share
   lots of common interests then my opinion is ‘yes’.

2. What physical action or gesture do you find romantic?
Ans: Those impromptu moments shared alone together – a stolen kiss
shared laughter.

3. What is your idea of a romantic dinner?
Ans: Sitting across the table from the partner I love (restaurant or
at home) under dimmed light with candles glowing, fresh florals on
the table, a tasty meal plus shared dessert and intelligent conversation

4. Is ‘love’ a real ‘thing’ or merely a physical chemical response and
brain activity pulling our emotional strings?
Ans: Love is real when you both finish each other’s sentences.
The chemical response happens when the heart finds the right one.

Gratitude section:

Question: How do you show your loved ones that you love them?
Ans: Daily ‘I Love You’, unexpected surprises, enjoying the good
times and being supportive during the bad ones.

Today’s questions

1. Pancakes, waffles or French toast as your breakfast favorite?
   Preference home-made pancakes – frozen Belgian or Buttermilk waffles 2nd
2.  Do you think a person’s name influences who they become?
   A thought-proving question! Answer depends on how extraordinaire
   the name and person’s life’s circumstances.
   
3.  Would things get better or worse if humans focused on what was going
    well rather than what’s going wrong?
   Sensationalism sells (learned in Journalism class).
   I believe people should remain aware of situations and refrain from
   embellishing on them or constantly pointing fingers.
   After all, no individual is perfect.

4. Is math something humans created or something discovered? Is looking at
   reality mathematically an accurate representation of how things work?
   It appears by all accounts that cavemen invented the usage of math through
   artwork – so different than math we learned and use in today’s world.
   Math definitely is a necessary component in all areas of record keeping.
   
5.  Gratitude – what are you grateful for right now?
   I am thankful for the simple joys of life, the capability to survive in crisis,
   wisdom learned thru experience and memories shared throughout the
   years with loved ones near and far.
