Instead of a Tender Mercies question, here’s a philosophical one instead:
You Find A Book And Begin To Read Only To Discover That It Is Your Life. You Get To The Point That You Are At Now, Do You Turn The Page Knowing That You Will Not Be Able To Change The Events To Come?
Considering I’m the kind of person who goes to the last page of a book to make sure I am ok with continuing on, yes – but only with a bottle of wine, a fire burning, and kitties nearby!

Eating bacon, loving kittens, eating bacon…did I say that already?

Work. Work takes up way too much of my time! I mean, I could be blogging, or petting kittens, or eating bacon.
Cookies (biscuits to those elsewhere), pastries, pie or cake? If not, what does your sweet tooth crave?
Bacon – that’s sweet, isn’t it??
Gratitude? Are You Happy? If so, why? If not, why not?
As long as there are kittens and bacon…and wine….especially after spending all of that time at work…

You’re walking in a forest and you find a black suitcase. Inside it is one millions dollars and a piece of paper, stained in blood and bearing the single word “Don’t!” Would you take the suitcase home or leave it?
Why would I want the suitcase?
Imagine you lapsed and cheated on your partner. You feel horrible and you know you’ll never do it again, because the feeling is so awful. Would you confess?
I am imagining the word “diet” where it says “partner”. And now I don’t feel awful. So, much better!

Yes. I don’t want to talk about it.

If your five year old self woke up in your current body, what would happen, what would you say?
What do you mean, “if”?
What is a relationship deal breaker for you? Whether you are talking about a romantic one, a friendship or a related to sort of relationship?
Bacon.
Is there something out there, a thought, an idea, a current event, or a fear that you find deeply unsettling?
Yes…many…
And one that is a bit whimsical: If you were arrested with no explanation, what would your friends and family assume you had done?
So many choices…
Finally, what were you grateful for this week? Something that brought some joy into your world?
A Santa Clause parade with no rain…very joyful!

What’s the most ironic thing you’ve ever witnessed?
That’s a hard one, ’cause I feel like I experience irony on a daily basis.
Let’s talk turkey. Pro or con? If pro, which part do you enjoy most? Is it for Thanksgiving (American Style any way) only?
I don’t understand the question. Is there a con? When would you NOT want to eat turkey (unless you are vegan/vegetarian…I’ll give you that)?
If you’d like, share one thing you wish you’d said to someone else, but now you’ll never have the chance.
Excelsior!
What odd smell do you really enjoy?
When you think about it, aren’t all smells kind of odd?
Thankful November….share a story or time when someone did something really great for you. Alternatively, share your gratitude moments during this past week.
What I am grateful for this past week was having a week at work that was almost good enough to make me happy to be there. Almost. Which is a huge leap forward from the past 4 years. That and kitties in front of the fire.

Is there one post on your site that is really special to you?
Nope. I love them all the same!
How Do You Deal With Negative People?
I roll my eyes a lot…
What Is The First Thing You Think Of When You Wake In The Morning?
Wonder why I have to wake up in the morning.
Would You Rather Be Able To Talk With The Animals Or Speak All Foreign Languages?
Questions like this puzzle me, since neither is possible. Although, I think being able to talk to animals would be much more productive than expanding the ways I have to communicate with humans.
November is a month in which many people give thanks. America (and other countries) celebrate an actual Thanksgiving Day. For example, Canada celebrates this in October. This month the gratitude question will address your life and what things you’ve received or done, that have brought you joy and sometimes relief perhaps. What small thing happened today (or in the past few days) that you were grateful for?
My photography class, which I am going to in a few minutes, followed by Kevin making dinner! 🙂
Soon….
