Which is worse, failing or never trying? Never
trying.
3.
If life is so short, why do we do so many things
we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Peer pressure. Laziness. Fear.
4.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said
more than you’ve done? Not at the end of this list.
5.
What is the one thing you’d most like to change
about the world? I’d like to make people slower-paced. I’d like to make people have the ability
to slow down and really “smell the roses”.
6.
If happiness was the national currency, what kind
of work would make you rich? Being with
my kids.
7.
Are you doing what you believe in, or are you
settling for what you are doing? I am doing what I believe in. At least I am trying to.

travelling to see family.
9.
To what degree have you actually controlled the
course your life has taken? It’s not me in control. J
10.
Are you more worried about doing things right, or
doing the right things? I’m more worried about doing things right. But I am aware of it and wish that I
was more worried about doing the right things.
11.
You’re having lunch with three people you respect
and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not
knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified.
What do you do? I do not partake.
I most likely would stay silent until it turned distasteful and
unjustified and then I would probably say something like “Wow, guys. Let’s move on cuz that’s not
necessary.”
12.
If you could offer a newborn child only one piece
of advice, what would it be? Wow…that’s a tough question. Just relax.
13.

At least not true insanity.

most people? I pray different.

make everyone happy? Because we are all individuals and it’s a great thing that
what makes me happy doesn’t make everyone happy. We’d all be bored.
17.
What one thing have you not done that you really
want to do? What’s holding you back? Bungee Jumping. The thing holding me back now is fear.
18.
Are you holding onto something you need to let go
of? Nope.
19.
If you had to move to a state or country besides
the one you currently live in, where would you move and why? Colorado. It’s beautiful. I could never leave the country.
20.
Do you push the elevator button more than
once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster? Nope. But I’ll push the floor button and then
press the door close button. But I
only push the elevator button, the floor button, and door close buttons once.

simpleton? A joyful simpleton for sure.
22.
Why are you, you? It’s the beauty of how God made
me.

friend? Yes. A lot of times I feel I have been that
friend without fail, even when I don’t receive it in return.
24.
Which is worse, when a good friend moves away, or
losing touch with a good friend who lives right near you? They are
simply the same. They both make me
sad.
25.
What are you most grateful for? My
health. My family. My friends.
26.
Would you rather lose all of your old memories,
or never be able to make new ones?
Wow.
There are plusses to both sides but major minuses to both sides. If I lost all my old memories, I would
lose my past. But if I couldn’t
form new memories, I wouldn’t be able to have any memories with my son. I’d rather lose my old memories. The people who I have important
memories with are, for the majority, still here and able to be around to make
new memories with. Tough question.

challenging it first? I…uh…what?
28.
Has your greatest fear ever come true? Not yet.
29.
Do you remember that time 5 years ago when you
were extremely upset? Does it really matter now? I don’t
even care to think about “that time” to figure out what really upset me 5 years
ago, much less 1 year ago.
30.
What is your happiest childhood memory?
What makes it so special? Gosh. Lately
I’ve been remembering times with my dad a lot and driving home from gymnastics
playing mind games. I think
because he is the opposite sex parent, as I am with Liam, it’s coming to mind
more and more. I can’t pick one
memory though. So many are
special.
31.
At what time in your recent past have you felt
most passionate and alive? During labor.
32.
If not now, then when? Probably never.
33.
If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have
to lose? Most
likely my dignity.
34.
Have you ever been with someone, said nothing,
and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? No.
35.
Why do religions that support love cause so many
wars? Seriously
philosophical and I’m just trying to finish this before bed.

good and what is evil? Yes.
37.
If you just won a million dollars, would you quit
your job? Probably
not.
38.

work you actually enjoy doing? More work that I enjoy doing. It’s the beauty of the seasons of my job.

times before? Not 100, but definitely more than 1 time before.

living? Now
I’m just fed up with these questions.

When is it time to stop calculating risk and
rewards, and just go ahead and do what you know is right? Probably
yesterday.
45.
If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always
so afraid to make a mistake? Ridicule. Embarrassment. Regret.
46.
What would you do differently if you knew nobody
would judge you? Not much.
47.
When was the last time you noticed the sound of
your own breathing? While feeding my son.
48.
What do you love? Have any of your recent
actions openly expressed this love?
My friends. My family. My
son. Shared Thanksgiving Meals
with those around me.
49.
In 5 years from now, will you remember what you
did yesterday? What about the day before that? Or the day before
that? Nope. But I’ll remember that I spent a lot of
time with my son.
50.
Decisions are being made right now. The
question is: Are you making them for yourself, or are you letting others
make them for you? I definitely make decisions for myself.
