New year~ Wednesday Hodgepodge~

 Written by Sue,Tuesday, January 4, 2022,  sunny, to cold for me. ~wink~, 40's

Today I am joining Wednesday Hodgepodge hosted by Joyce, from across the pond! Thank you Joyce for hosting.

Q.1. Share one happy/memory from the holiday season!

A.Wow! There were so  many happy memories that have been tucked away in my heart!  Our family celebrated Thanksgiving by having a fish fry with many loved ones present! Our weather has been extremely warm so we were able to have our gathering outside, lots of great food , fellowship, with great conversations. 

Q. 2.Lets be reasonable with our expectations going into this new year,k? What is one thing you would like to accomplish/improve/complete/do in 2022?

A. Accomplish~I would like to be consistent in my walking/exercise, healthy eating!

Improve~ reading more, less news watching.

Complete~ our porch project.

Do~We were gifted with a devotional by Dr. David Jeremiah, titled, Everyday with Jesus. In the introduction Dr Jeremiah encouraged us to look at the new year with the certainty of God's faithfulness, instead of yielding to the uncertainty of what last year was like! I am challenged to spend more time with Jesus studying His word and applying it to my life, In other words "to be more like him"

Q.3. Every January 1st (since 1976) Lake Superior University has published a list of words banished from the Queen's English. Words may be banished due to misuse, overuse or just general uselessness(go here to read more about how the words are chosen). Here are the words/ phrases they'd like to see banished in 2022~

 wait, what?~no worries~at the end of the day~ that being said~ asking for a friend~circle back~ deep dive~ a new normal~ you're on mute~ supply chain.

Which of these words/phrases do you use regularly? Which of these words would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why? Is there a word/phrase not on the list you'd like to add? 

A. Wait, what, supply chain and a few others, definitely not circle back!

Circle back, needs to be banished, because that tells me you are trying to avoid the question that you already know the answer to!

Q.4. Best thing you ate in the month of December? 

My dh and family  would  say it's a new cookie recipe I invented, actually there were  two, for me it was turnip roots with greens that we grew, along with my special cornbread! I guess this really qualifies me as a southern, country girl! 

5. January 5th is National Bird Day. Are you a bird lover? What's your favorite bird to see in the wild? Choose a phrase from the list that follows and tell us how it relates to your life currently...eat like a bird, bird's eye view, early bird, bird-brained, free as a bird, or a little bird told me or kill two birds with one stone.

A.5.We are indeed bird lovers, and have many bird feeders here at the farm! Our  favorite birds are the cardinal and blue bird.

Early bird fits me, being  a farmer's wife I was always up early, I especially enjoy getting up before day for quiet time.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

We have been taking care of this cute little fella (Zeke) for over a week while his family was vacationing! Actually he is the one who had a vacation!~wink~

I haven't blogged in a while, and  I have so many things I would like to share, but it would take so much time and space, however, I  enjoy blogging more than any social media, my  goal is to reconnect and make new friends here in Bogland.

 There is one thing for sure, life goes on, no matter what, time waits for no one,  nothing stays the same, except Jesus, He is always so ever faithful, watching over us, leading and guiding our lives!  

Another goal this new year is to continue memorizing Bible verses, Dh and I started this a few year ago, it has been one of the most rewarding things we have ever done. 

May your new year be filled

 with many blessing,

 great health, 

much joy,

  peace,

 and

 happiness!

💗💚💛

P.S. I have been having lots of issues with blogger,it has taken me two days  to work on this post, I can't edit any gadgets, and have tried everything possible. I am going to probably delete the blog and reinstate it, if  that doesn't work will delete forever, and start a new blog. You might come by and my blog is no longer here! I will somehow find a way!

If anyone knows how I can edit, remove any gadget please help/
