Better Late than Never Hodgepodge
2. Do you think there's any truth to the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'.
No, but it's a healthy snack choice.
Of the following healthy habits which do you find easiest to incorporate into your life and which is the most difficult for you to adopt-
Easy = adequate sleep, a balanced diet, plenty of water, eat breakfast, don't smoke, exercise, limit alcohol, vegetables in your diet, manage stress, limit screen time
I've never smoked - never been much of a drinker -
For many years, I was a runner, starting in my freshman year of high school with the 100-mile club. I ran through three pregnancies until an unexpected fall 15 years ago injured my knee.
Now, my daily routine revolves around walking. which, can't match the exhilaration of running. In my dreams, I’m back on a path, feeling invincible.
Occasionally, as I walk down a hill, an electrifying surge ignites my longing to "lift-off." I can almost feel the ground yielding to my desire for flight, but my knees protest, reminding me of the freedom I once took for granted.
Bummer!
Difficult or challenging = including fruit in my diet
Fruit doesn't taste like it used to, so I find it harder to incorporate fruit into my diet.
I love visiting this charming local farm to pick up freshly harvested fruits and vegetables. There’s homemade bread, along with a variety of delicious homemade jams and jellies. The farmers wife, even makes unique soaps! The freshness and quality of everything far surpass what I used to buy at the grocery store. I also appreciate the beautiful surroundings and inviting ambiance, making each visit a special experience.
Now, that has to be healthy!
3. Who taught you how to drive? Do you enjoy driving? Would you rather be the driver or the passenger?
My Dad, Mom, a boyfriend, and Mr. George, my high-school driving instructor/business teacher.
I love to drive and do at least half the driving when we go anywhere. I've always been prone to car sickness, so sometimes I have to drive.

5. Tell us about something nice that happened to you recently.
Each day brings delightful moments of smiles and friendly conversations. Recently, while waiting behind a man while he was picking out a carton of eggs, he surprised me by turning around and offering me the eggs he had just chosen. Kindness is contagious!
I think I am "at that age."
6. Insert your own random thought here.
It's funny. I have random thoughts every day, but when the Hodgepodge asks me to insert my thoughts, I can't think of a thing.
I wasn't going to do the Hodgepodge anymore because I am always late getting it out and posting it on linky - I guess better late than never!
Thanks for dropping by my Hodgepodge for this week.
Take Care

I love these posts as I learn so much more about you, your faith and your life.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I've never heard of Gravenstein apples. I'm going to have to look for them. I like Honey Crisp variety.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for being a runner. I always hated running!
Your views of the mountains are always so pretty.
The scenery around you is breathtaking! It sounds like you don't take it for granted which is great! The picture and description of the farmer's market sounds really nice- we have one near us that is similar and I love to support it. I, too, was a runner and not that long ago. I had Achilles heal surgery in early April and am still not able to run (and even walk) like I used to. It's kind of depressing but I am thankful to be walking period after being in a thick cast for three weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou have some sweet answers to the hodgpodge....I am not a big apple eater, but if I don eat them, I like them baked with cinnamon and sugar. Your area is absolutely gorgeous...love all the mountains and the big trees. That was a very kind gesture form the man...there really are some good people in this world...Kindness is so important and our world needs lots of it right now..
