I’ve been away travelling in Europe and a little in at home – soooo didn’t even realise that the host of Share Your World had changed!

I’m a great fan of Sparks from a Combustible Mind so here are my answers:-

What Is Your Favorite Beverage?  (for those who really dislike “favorite” questions, hey, time to time, one just pops in and will not be denied).

My favourite beverage is COFFEE.  The best coffee ever is to be found in Belgium.  I don’t know why it’s so good but it is.  They use the same beans as everybody else but somehow they get it right!  The rest of Europe is pretty good but I’d emigrate to Belgium just to indulge in their amazing coffee – and of course their chocolate is also AWESOME.

What Is Your Interpretation of ‘The Golden Rule”?  Are there ramifications to breaking it?

The Golden Rule – Mother (or in my case Grandmother) knows best.  You better believe it!   My kids don’t always but it always turns out to be true – so Kids and Grandkids out there – don’t dis your mom and gran.  They have infinite wisdom, they love you and they really do know what’s best.  Yes – you’re going to disregard their advice but in the end you’ll admit it. Mom/Gran knows best!

Sunrise person or sunset person? 

Sunrise – the early morning really is the best part of the day.  When we’re in the bush we are up with the sun and out looking for birds and game and it’s just the most perfect time.   God’s re-creation of a new day!   

Do people in modern society anthropomorphize animals too much? 

Not all but many do and some should.   Dog – is God spelled backwards after all.  I believe pets are good for people – petting a cat, I have heard, brings down your blood pressure when you’re upset.  There’s nothing to beat coming home to a dog who is over the moon to see you.  Pets seem to have some sort of sixth sense and they definitely can pick up on one’s mood.  We don’t have a cat or dog anymore but two white rabbits – escapees from somebody else’s hutch have taken up residence in our garden. The hubs worships these two creatures and on our return from a week away the first thing he did was make sure that is sacrifices of carrots and apples were presented to the mighty rabbit gods.

and finally

What Were You Grateful For During the Past Week?   

I’ve been away from the hubs for too long. He missed me and I missed him. Being back with him has been bliss.  He is the only one who truly understands me and puts up with my idiosyncrasies.  I appreciate everything he does for me.
