Which activities make you lose track of time?

For my mental health, I try to stay away from scrolling on social media too much but it still sucks me in… however, it is mostly Tik tok and it’s because I’m learning new things like sewing, knitting, Excel tricks, exercise demos, but even that takes time to find content you like.

Oh well, sometimes time wasted isn’t necessarily bad.

List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

1. Take care of your body if you want it to function well as you age.

2. Try new things to grow.

3. Walk outside and be with nature.

4. Give time to your pets, you’re their whole world.

5. Bathe every day if you have access to water, it quickly refreshes you.

6. Don’t overthink too much, go with your gut as it’s usually right.

7. Don’t judge someone if you don’t want to be judged, you don’t know their back story.

8. Learn from others, everyone is good at something and they can teach you.

9. The hardest battle is sometimes staying positive, but the more positive you are, the more likely you can see things in a different perspective.

10. Most importantly, love those in your life because time is limited and tomorrow isn’t always promised.

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

No matter how much I love having the latest tech, it would be fairly easy to give up if it meant harmony and peace of mind as without either, the gadgets will only make you more anxious.

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

The oldest thing that I have that I still luckily use is my mind.. always changing and growing, could there be anything else that tops this?

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

To me, one of the most important things to have for a good life is a positive outlook. Life isn’t a straight line, there are so many unchosen paths so regrets, what ifs, and other thoughts may occur so keeping a positive outlook on your decisions can only result in a happy life!

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Younger, it meant having the latest and coolest clothes and gadgets.

Today, it means having good health, family, love, home, food, money to live, and shelter.

It’s all attainable but your perspective is what drives that motivation and a positive mindset likely will show you that you already have attained it all!

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

I got a rose from my favorite Bollywood actress when I was 15. I worked hard to go see her in town at that age, sat front row, and got a rose!

Still have it and cherish it!

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

To become who I am today, the contributions are from many including my parents but if look at someone else who impacted me, it would have to be my 6th grade teacher, Ms. Whitlock.

She was a sweet, lady..who most, probably thought she was super old due to her grey hair but I doubt she was.. Plus when you’re a kid in the 6th grade, anyone with grey hair is old, right?

Anyway, I’ll never forget Ms. Whitlock because she always encouraged me to read as I was struggling to learn English. She gave me a book to read every time I finished one. One of my favorites from the time was Trumpet of the Swan. To most, E.B. White’s most famous and renown book is Charlotte’s Web but I didn’t start with the latter. Anyway, because of Ms. Whitlock, I was able to learn and improve my English by the end of 6th grade and was able to continue to progress all through middle school.

Sometimes a little encouragement and the right kind of push is all it takes!

Thanks Ms. Whitlock!

What does freedom mean to you?

One simple definition.. The ability to make a choice..

We often taken this for granted until we meet someone who wasn’t able to due to their circumstances in a situation or in a country.

Grateful for freedom!

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

Christmas! So many to choose from but in the States, this is the time you see joy in people.. something to look forward to every year.

My favorite holiday is forever going to be Christmas! Each year is something different and always leads to good memories!
