I’m tough……or not. 

Some questions seem tough but it’s nice to challenge the mind.  There’s no right or wrong answers so no harm done.

Missed out on the first 30?  Check them out and and answer them for yourself.

Questions 1-10 –  Questions 11-20 –  Questions 21-30

1. At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive? 

   I went to Zumba on Saturday morning and danced my hiney off. Dang…Hella decale always gets me.  It was an amazing rush of adrenaline to get me through some last few crazy days at work.    If we’re talking something more philosophical or deep…I took two girls from church to the mall to shop.   The conversations and lessons we all learned that day reminded me of why I love working with kids. 

2. If not now, then when? 

   Now is as good a time as any.  If I say later I may not do it.  The when becomes, “When I feel like it.”  So why don’t we just say now instead of later, tomorrow, or Monday or in the New Year.
   

3. If you haven’t achieved it yet, what do you have to lose? 

   My dignity…because I’ve said I’ll do it and haven’t.  But what is the it?  The recent it is getting back to the weight room.  I slacked in the summer with being sick and the fall was more of the same.  Then came Christmas…and well more excuses.  Now it’s back to the weights to show up the boys with all my favorite exercises…the more awesome the better. 

4. Have you ever been with someone, said nothing, and walked away feeling like you just had the best conversation ever? 

   When I’ve sat with my grandma and just watched her favorite TV shows it gives me a glimpse at what she loves.  They aren’t my current sitcoms or reality TV…she loves the classics and learning through shows like Jeopardy.  Sitting with her as she enjoys an evening is some of the best conversation feeling ever.

5. Why do religions that support love cause so many wars?
   Discord leads to war not religion.  The end.
   
6. Is it possible to know, without a doubt, what is good and what is evil? 

   I’d love to say yes but I know there is a bit of grey area.  I find my absolutes in scripture and my faith in God…yet some things require a lot of prayer. One thing I know is good…Tea.  In so many ways. Won’t you try.  

7. If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job? 

   Nope.  I may take more awesome vacations and days off but I love my job.  Who wouldn’t love doing this for a living…hanging out with kids at the beach for a job well done.Perhaps with a million dollars I could pay someone to help out with all the craziness and make me love my job more.  

8. Would you rather have less work to do, or more work you actually enjoy doing?
   More work I actually enjoy doing.  I have a ton of work to do but I like it…well not always the work itself but the fact I’m not bored.  Being bored drives me nuts!
   
9. Do you feel like you’ve lived this day a hundred times before? 

   Yes…because it’s been a freakin’ long day.  It’s also been a long two months of almost the same thing each day and I do this every year.  Hmmmmm…but it’s always with a new challenge and I’m looking for a nap.  I hope I don’t have to do it for 100 more times. 

10. When was the last time you marched into the dark with only the soft glow of an idea you strongly believed in? 

    I went outside to see the new snow falling in the moonlight.  Guess that wasn’t the question. I was insane this past two weeks and decided for some down time to learn video editing.  It’s been fun.  Check it out here.   I guess that’s not something I believed in strongly though…it was just fun.The real answer must be getting back to running after back surgery.  I didn’t know if I could run again…in fact I was told I couldn’t.  But I started slowly – one foot in front of the other – and I’ve run several races since.  Instead of marching into the dark, I’m running in the light.
