A few months ago (ummm the last time was February) I was trying to do the 5,000 question meme survey thing my dear Amanda started doing long ago.
So I decided to give it another try!
21. Are you more of a giver or a taker? Ack. This is a hard question. I would say giver. But I am the taker sometimes. But I have a tendency to give more (I think it might be because people ask less questions of a giver.....hmmmm.)
22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind? I try to have both....especially if it is a really hard decision. Decisions are not one of the easiest things for me!
23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you? I broke my ankle 3 years ago and I had no idea the type of pain a small little fracture could be.
24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you? Ummm I have one for each decade starting in my teens? Teens was losing my Pappy, 20's was my parents separation and divorce. And then this year...the death of my sweet Memaw. (holy moly question way to make me cry. Let's say I am overtired and over emotional because of some things going on!)
25. Who have you hugged today? Several people actually. Some of my girls I work with and some of the people I work with. I am not really a hugger but sometimes it is nice to have that encouraging embrace.
26. Who has done something today to show they care about you? Several people actually. It was what my heart needed today. Encouraging words and just love.
27. Do you have a lot to learn? HA! Yes!
28. If you could learn how to do three things just by wishing and not by working what would they be? I think this is a really hard question...because I love learning!
A Loving and trusting with my whole heart.
B Writing a book...several books. (erhm....I think loosely fits that question!)
C Photography.
29. Which do you remember the longest: what other people say, what other people do or how other people make you feel? Honestly....it depends on the person. If they are really important to me...all three play a big part I can be good at beating myself up with all three.....if they don't know me well....what they say.
30. What are the key ingredients to having a good relationship? Trust, communication, honesty, integrity and character. Love....of course. Any good relationship, friend, family, or romantic needs love!
Let's see...only 4,970 questions to go! I suppose I should do this a little more often if I want to finish before I am 90!

Have a great weekend Peaches!
I did this on my old blog years ago! But That blog is gone now and I'm sure the answers are different. I should re-try it.

What a great idea! I feel like I know you! ;) You are so honest and vunerable. Love it...

These questions are so deep they make my head hurt. I thought about copying you but I think that's too much thinkin' for me!
Love your answer to 28. Swap photography for painting and we'd have identical lists!

My parents divorced when I was in my 20s, too. Crazy -- we have that and both our grandmothers died. We need to find some happy commonalities!

I AM a hugger (but I'll bet you woulda guessed that :D). Where IS this list of questions, by the way? If I ever get ambitious, I might give it a try (LOL or not!).
Praying for a wonderful weekend for you, dear Christy!

Well isn't this just fun? I will have to check it out but wow...5,000 of them...
I'm sorry you are having a tough day - I just prayed that God would give you the courage to keep on going and the strength to endure.
Hope your weekend is well and peaceful!

I've never seen the meme. Which may be a good thing. LOL.
I like answering questions. Some questions I'd rather not answer..at least not publicly. ;)
Question 25 is a staple for me. When you give a hug, you usually get one back. Mmmm. Need to go hug my babies now. If Brian were home, he'd be first on the list. Well, he was first on the list this morning!
Have a blessed weekend my friend!!!

I love your number 30. Great things to look for in a friend.

I have totally abandoned my 5000 question survey,the idea of which I stole from you ;), so maybe I can get back to in the coming weeks.
#28 Oh how I wish there were things I could learn just by wishing them. Oh wait, did I just use up one of my three wishes? Darn!
#27, Don't we all!!
Happy weekend twin!

I like question 29. For some reason it is a hard question and yet it is a simple question. Hmmm.... if only I could remember... :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The real reason I never started this meme is because I know I would never finish it. Although every time I read yours and Amanda's posts, I get an urge.
