1. “My hands are tied” is an English-language cliche that means “I’d like to do something about this unfortunate situation, but I don’t have the ability or authority.” In what current situation do you feel your hands are tied?My 18-year old son is making some choices that are not in his best interest and I feel like "my hands are tied" in this situation. I pray for him daily and know that God is hope and love and He can change the situation.
2. Railroad ties are the evenly-spaced slats that lie perpendicular to train tracks and whose function is to hold the tracks in place and to distribute the weight of the train. Who are the railroad ties in your life?The strongest railroad tie in my life is God and His promises. The other ties are my family and friends - Elizabeth and Michael for the amazing help they have given me since being off work; Dr. S - who provides me support and teaches me ways to cope in difficult situations; J - who I greatly admire and she also offers great support and life skills; Gina, my friend who is able to give me emotional support.
3. What are your feelings about Thai food? I've never tried Thai food.
4. Whose thighs do you admire?There is actually one of the daycare moms (grandma raising granddaughter) who has the most amazing thighs I've ever seen! She used to compete in water skiing and her legs are so muscular. She now rides a bike or walks many places she goes.
5. A red tide is a proliferation (in ideal circumstances) of oceanic algae that often seem to discolor seawater and threaten other sealife. If the ocean is your life and the algae the harmful attitudes, thoughts, or moods that crowd out the good stuff, under what conditions in your life is red tide most likely to become a problem?I believe that I have separated myself from the "Red Tide" that was crowding out much of the "good" emotional stuff in my life. I have the leftovers - the pain from those years still creeps up and I have to be aware of where it's coming from and work through it!
