| This is the SECOND time that I'm writing this blog....I accidentally closed the page.So if this blog sucks, sorry the first one rocked!!My friend Rick posted a blog where Jesse had interviewed him.I wasn't able to participate in Jesse's blog...Real life was commanding my full attention.I knew Rick would not ask easy questions...First, I'm asking that everyone continue to be respectful in their comments.You don't have share my views, but you do have be nice...Yes, he went there...Right off the bat.1.What are your views abortion, not as they pertain to yourself, but in general?I believe "It's the woman's body.It's the woman's choice."I also believe that some men are frustrated by this view point, because they are conditioned to be able to control just about everything else on the planet...I'm just sayin'.2.Have you ever had an addiction and beaten it?I am the adult child of an alcoholic.I struggle with co-dependancy, and I can be an emotional eater.I wouldn't say that I have beaten these issues, but they haven't beaten me...I take them "One day at a time."3.If you could change one day in your life to result in a different outcome, would you?At nineteen, I chose to take job at a Drug/Alcohol education facility in Pearl Harbor, instead of attending community college.I have often regretted that choice...I think it proved to be short sighted.4.What was the happiest day of your life?Happiness often eludes me. I have a difficult time enjoying the moment.I am often waiting for the "other shoe" to drop...After much reflection, I would say the happiest day of my life was my 20th birthday.As I child, I never got what I asked for...I just stopped asking.It seemed like the requests became a list of things NOT to get me. By the time I met my husband, I had stopped asking for what I wanted; and I had stopped answering those who asked..."Anything you'd like to give me would be fine."We hadn't been dating long.He kept asking me, until I finally had no choice but to give him an answer. |
| He kept asking me, until I finally had no choice but to give him an answer.He caught me in an unguarded moment, and I told what I REALLY wanted...A matching necklace, bracelet and anklet set.I had forgotten about it.I NEVER got what I asked for, and I had NO reason to believe it would be ANY different this year...We stood under the Banyan tree in front of my office.It was my birthday and he brought me my gifts.Three small boxes stacked one on top of another...I held my breath as I took the lid off of the top box.Inside was bracelet made of a fine gold chain..."You got me the whole set?""It's what you asked for.Why wouldn't I?"Stunned.I replied, " I NEVER get what I ask for."He tilted his head back and said, " Well, you can't say that anymore.Can you?"That was the day I fell in love with him.5.If you could speak to the entire world, what message would you deliver to it?Well, I can't imagine the entire world taking the time to listen to me.But if I were able to get them to stop for a moment, I would say..."Find beauty where you are standing."Now to play along, please follow these instructions:1.Leave me a comment saying "interview me."2.I will respond by e-mailing you five questions.I get to pick the questions.3.You will update your blog (so you have to have a blog) with a post containing your answers to the questions.4.You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.5.When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. |
