MY ANSWERS
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Breakfast ~ If you could choose an age to remain forever, which age would you choose? I am not sure there is a perfect age.  Because the younger you are the less wise you are, but the older you get, the more physical issues arise.  I think the age of about 45 was the best age for me physically, mentally, etc.  But with each passing year, I am so grateful for the knowledge I continue to gain that I am not sure I would want to be stuck in any age unless I could continue to learn and grow while staying at that age.  I really loved my 40's because I no longer cared what other people thought and it was so freeing. 

Lunch ~ What do you enjoy doing to relieve stress? I run outside.  Sometimes I like to just chill and watch an old movie too.

Dinner ~ If you could buy any car right now, what would you buy? A purple Mustang convertible. 

 I'd even take a purple Mustang that wasn't a convertible.

Midnight Snack ~ What date on your calendar are you looking forward to?  What date are you dreading? I am looking forward to Aug. 18th when my oldest son will be home for a few weeks.  I am also looking forward to April 17th when I will be running the Boston Marathon!  As far as dates I am dreading... Election day.  I am not at all hopeful with the state our nation will be in during the next four years, no matter who wins.  
I guess I am also dreading the upcoming Christmas season.  My goal in life is to look forward to that season one day.  I love most things about it, but all the shopping and thinking of gift ideas is not something I love.  I do dread all the time and effort it takes on top of everything I am already trying to squeeze in.  And I've done it to myself.  I need to change things up and simplify.  Something I tell myself every year, but it never happens.

Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)
Trust in Heavenly Father.  Take time to be still and listen to what He is trying to tell you.  And then go forward with faith and hope and release all doubt. Also, accept that people are not going to change just because you want them to. Just think of how hard it is to change things about yourself.  Trying to change someone else is near impossible unless they want to change.  Just accept them for what they are and release your desire to try and change them.
