Welcome to this week's edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my post, then leave a comment for the blogger before you. Here we go-
1. January 25th is National Opposites Day. 'They' say opposites attract...do you agree, and if so is that a good thing? Or do you subscribe more to a 'birds of a feather' philosophy?
I think there are pros and cons to both sides of the coin here. Studies have shown we're more often attracted to someone similar, at least in attitudes, personality traits, outside interests and values. In life's most important matters I definitely think you need to be more birds of a feather. Not carbon copies of one another, but complimentary for sure.
In life's less important matters your opposite can stretch you, pull you out of your comfort zone so to speak, allowing (or forcing-ha!) you to experience things you might not experience otherwise. That's fine when it comes to trying new foods or a vacation activity etc, but it's less fine if we're talking how to raise children or spend money.
2. Something you're glad to have behind you? Something you're glad is ahead of you?
Behind me? Dating. Ahead of me? More grandchildren.
3. Your favorite hot food? Cold food? Are you a fan of breakfast for dinner?
My favorite hot food? Hmmm....that's a toughie. Because of the season we're currently in I'm going to say a bowl of homemade soup. If it were the middle of summer I'd probably have a different answer. As far as cold foods go, give me a slice of red ripe watermelon any day of the year.
I love breakfast for dinner. When we've been traveling or we've had a very busy few days hubs will make omelettes for dinner, and we both enjoy that meal.
4. Are you someone who always arrives to appointments/events early or do you tend to run late? Last thing you were late for?
I despise being late for anything and it rarely happens. I can't remember the last thing I was late for because I make it a point to be on time for whatever is happening. Thankfully hubs is also an 'on-time' guy so we're birds of a feather in that regard lol.
5. "What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness?" John Steinbeck....Your thoughts?
I do think we can appreciate something without necessarily experiencing it's opposite, but I also think some things are enjoyed more when you've been without for a while. True of warm/cool weather, the changing seasons, missing the people we love and then celebrating their return, and more.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Speaking of opposites...look who's sitting opposite me answering today's Hodgepodge questions on her own blog-
I've been enjoying the past few days with my girl in her lovely Tennessee home, and since we now know baby's gender we have had the most fun buying all the adorable things. I'll let her spill the beans when she's ready though.
Also she and I are birds of a feather if ever there were birds of a feather. Just sayin'.
