A little bit of this, a little bit of that, followers....plus BYOC

I was just looking at my list of followers and realized that some of you do not have a link to your blogs listed. If you have one, please leave me the link in a comment on my own blog. I so love reading about all of your journeys and if you have one and I am not following, I need to know because I want to follow you!

My mother finally came home from the hospital on Thursday...thank you for all your prayers...but she will be on IV antibiotics for at least 4 weeks. I was talking to her yesterday morning and she was sounding very wishy-washy and she said in her famous "mother guilt" voice: "I wish you were here, I miss you so much". I assured her that Steve and I would be up there 7/31 and we are staying for 9 days. Not good enough it seems....she called my sister and told her how much she missed me. My sister pounced on me with "Elayna (my niece who is staying with me) is a little afraid to fly home on Sunday by herself so I was thinking....I have a round-trip air credit that I would give you if you come to visit your mother on Sunday...even if its only for a few days!" So, I will be flying to NY tomorrow and coming home Tues. Life sure changes quickly these days!

BYOC

1. Love or money? High salary or job satisfaction?

Definitely love but I gotta say, having money is a nice bonus! I could not work at something that didn't satisfy me no matter what the salary but whatever I do in life, I give it my all and I expect to be paid for my efforts.


2. What is your favorite time of day?

My favorite time of day is first thing in the morning, I am all alone with the puppster and we sit out on the lanai watching the sun come up over the lake behind our house. Well, I watch the sun, Brutus watches my coffee cup waiting for a little coffee at the end!

3. My in-laws just had their wills done so it made me wonder this. Do you have a will? Did you tell anyone your wish to be kept alive or not?

We definitely have a will and with everything that I am now going through as Executor of my Dads estate, we are thinking about adding a revocable living trust to make things easier for our children when we die. We each have a living will that states that we do not want to be kept alive unless there is hope for quality of life.

We both want to be cremated but honestly, we have not discussed where to put the ashes. Hmmm...maybe now is a good time to discuss this, yes? My dad wanted his ashes scattered at the golf course and Las Vegas which we did but my sister and I also kept some and each of us bought a beautiful Urn that we put the ashes in. I never thought I would want to keep ashes around but I have to tell you, it is so comforting to me to be able to look at the urn and feel my dads presence.

4. Repeat question. Pick one thing for one day you'll do next week that aids in your physical or mental health.

I am having issues with getting all my protein in so I will make it a point to do so every day, not just for one day.

5. Repeat questions. Make someone a superstar for a moment...whose comment or blog stuck with you this week.

There were so many this week that spoke to me, I can't limit it to one.
