Don't know why this seems like such a good set of questions, maybe it's the lack of focus. The questions just seem fun.
ReplyDeleteLove your answers: new & improved, you seem excellent as is! Great car story!
I'm thinking the first thing I should think when I wake up in the morning is 'What do I need to give myself permission for today."
Thanks Karen!!
Lovely meme answers- I loved learning more about you :)
ReplyDeleteTake care!
xoxo
You're so fast!! Loved your answers! Totally with you on the feeling defenseless sometimes, particularly when wanting to protect the kids. Hope you're well. x
