The Prompt: Share a story where it was very difficult for you to forgive the perpetrator for wronging you, but you did it — you forgave them. So – wow. This is a very difficult question to address. Forgiveness is not my strong suit. I’m more of a ‘let’s pretend everything is okay’ type – but […]
Who is with me on this one? Jim Henson created this from a children’s book. It aired on HBO in 1978 and then on ABC in 1980. I was 8 and we might have had HBO in 1978, but it is more likely that I saw it on ABC in 1980. I have no idea […]
The Prompt: Tell us about the time when you performed a secret random act of kindness — where the recipient of your kindness never found out about your good deed. How did the deed go down? This is a tough one for me. I’ve certainly participated in many projects anonymously, mostly behind the scenes as a […]
The Prompt: Tell us about a time when you flew into a rage. What is it that made you so incredibly angry? I’ve written about my struggle with accepting that life isn’t fair. I’m not sure how I would define a rage versus just a general bout of talking loudly to blow off steam about something, […]
The prompt: What is your least favorite personal quality in others? Extra points for sharing your least favorite personal quality in yourself. Uh oh. My least favorite personal quality in others is faux politeness – the sort of situations where people air kiss your cheek and pat your back in lieu of an actual hug. […]
The Prompt: Share a time when you narrowly avoided disaster. So I’ve shared the story of the great tire blowout on the PA Turnpike which qualifies for this prompt. I’m going to instead tell you a pet story that ties in with a previous entry about dog’s lapping water (oh, the noise!) Two of our dogs, […]
The Prompt: What is your very favorite holiday? Recount the specific memory or memories that have made that holiday special to you. When I was young, my grandparents would invite my family over to celebrate New Year’s Day. They would prepare a semi-ethnic feast: pork (and hot dogs) and sauerkraut, mashed potatoes, green peas (???) and […]
The Prompt: You have been named supreme ruler of the universe. Your first order of business is creating and instituting a holiday or festival in your honor. What day of the year is your holiday? What special events will take place? Describe YOU DAY in as great a detail as you can muster: the special […]
Like most folks in their 40’s and above, I grew up watching wholesome television like “Walton’s Mountain” – a CBS family drama that aired from 1972 to 1981. I probably only watched the final 3 or 4 seasons and caught the remainder in reruns. I was fascinated by the time period – it was like […]
The Prompt: Tell us about the time you rescued someone else (person or animal) from a dangerous situation. What happened? How did you prevail? I can’t really share stories about clients, but I do want to give a shout out to the front line workers – least paid and most abused – who put themselves on […]
