Barb asked (and asked and asked and asked) :)....
Besides
prayer, which is simply a given because I've prayed for you every
single day since we met, a year and a half ago, what can we out here
who love you do that would most help you and John and the kids get
through this? And this is just something I want to know before I board
Amtrak and surprise you. What is your favorite color? What's your
favorite scent? What's your favorite way to spend an afternoon? What do
you most enjoy doing with your free time? Do you like puzzles? Do you
read a lot? Do you really love to cook?
What great questions, Barb. And I love you for asking :)
This was actually a tough one for me, because in sitting down to think about the answers it made me realize how much of myself I've lost through this whole dialysis, being sick thing. And that makes me sad.
Chronic illness seems to absorb everything in it's path, without you realizing it.
But, the good thing is that now I see what's happening, and I plan to do something about reclaiming my life.
So, thank you so very, very, very much I dear, sweet friend.
I love purple. Anything purple. And red. I love jewel tones, vibrancy. I favorite ring, next to my wedding ring, is a simple filigree gold setting with three heart shaped rubies in it. once for John, and each of the kids.
My favorite scent? Fresh linen, woodsmoke and the ocean.
I used to play the piano, and I sang forever. In high school I sang in the Madrigal choir, and two State honor Choirs. I'm a second soprano. I love classical, and singing in Italian was my favorite. In college, I was chosen to sing at the Opening ceremonies of the 1984 Summer Olympics in LA, but ended up doing volunteer work with YWAM instead. I spent sever al years in the worship team at church, and at our denominations youth camps. Those were good times :) I don't have the chance to sing much, if at all, anymore with the exception of to annoy my young'ns.
Reading used to be a huge passion of mine. I spent alot of time traveling for business, and always looked forward to the flights so I could knock out a book on each leg. unfortunately, I don't read as much anymore becasue a side effect of the kidney failure is an inability to concentrate / focus on something for an extended period of time. My brain can't wrap around things as well to get through a book without a huge amount of frustration. But, I am beginning to enjoy books on tape and still getting my fill of books :)
Otherwise, I've always been an outgoing social butterfly. I love to laugh, play board games, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I am totally into politics, thanks to my dad, but will never get into that on the blog. I save that torture for my family.
I'm the only one in the house who likes football, but I'm working on my son.
When you come (notice I didn't say if), we will find a coffee shop and just take the corner booth forever.
Sound good?
