Look at me, two days in a row. Since we're staying inside (and the golf course is closed) I have plenty of time to sit here and play along with Joyce's Hodgepodge.
1. What's one thing you learned at the ripe old age of whatever age you are now?
No is a complete sentence. It is nice to add Thank you though.
2. I read here a list of foods that can help you look younger-
extra virgin olive oil, green tea, fatty fish, dark chocolate,
vegetables, flaxseeds, pomegranates, avocados, tomatoes, spices, bone
broth
How many of the foods listed have you tried? How many do you eat regularly? Your favorite from the list?
With the exception of flaxseeds, I believe I've consumed all of the above. If I've had flaxseeds, I did so without my knowledge. ha. I'd say avocados are my favorite. Can't go wrong adding avocado. In fact, I'll add it to dinner just for color. ha.
3. Something you miss from the 'good old days'? When were the good old days anyway?
Well, shoot. So many things. More of just living life and less 'living for the gram.' Which I think most likely go hand in hand.
When were the good old days? Pre social media, I believe. Don't get me wrong, it's great reconnecting with people all over and from past connections but somewhere along the way it all became just toooo much. Too political, too enabling of unkindness and just too fake.
4. What are two or three of the most rewarding things to be found in growing older?
With maturity comes ease of just being yourself. If someone doesn't like it, then so be it. Also, you don't have to be everybody's friend. Agree to disagree - respectfully - and get on with it. Oh, and my answer to #1.
5. What's your favorite part of your life right now?
In COVID life? The Hubby being home. Serious. We like each other and I like having him around more than just sleeping hours. True story.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Well, I did it. As positive as I am and willing to wait it out . . . This morning I finally pulled the trigger on the cancellation of condo reservations for our family Christmas and New Years (not to mention my 60th birthday) trip to Maui. So sad. The COVID restrictions are just to unpredictable. We'll try again when things are 'back' to 'normal.' Whenever that is.

Hi Carrie, enjoyed reading your answers. That first one is an epic thing to learn! We were supposed to be in Great Britain right now but of course had to cancel those plans. Hope you can take that 60th trip next year!
So disappointing to have to cancel your big trip. My birthday is tomorrow and we wanted to be in London for that, but here we are still at home. Plus wedding planning in a pandemic is no joke. Whew! It's great to see you in the Hodgepodge!
Yeah, it is disappointing to have to cancel. We are hoping we can go to Alaska next year since we couldn't go this year.
