Journal jar Spotlight

                                   

Well, it's Sunday so I thought I'd do another journal spotlight....

I came to know Steph when she joined the journal jar.  I have to admit she is pretty new to me but I still enjoy reading her journals.  She has a little bit of everything.  She can hold my interest and my attention.  I'm very glad that she joined I may not have had the pleasure of getting to know her if she hadn't.  I haven't caught up with all my journal reading so I'm a few entries behind.  Check her out and catch up with me :)
Her journals:
Welcome to my life!
These Days
Steph's thoughts

My second person to spotlight is someone I had "met" before I came to J-Land.  I have talked to her on the phone and she is someone I always look forward to hearing from.  Her journal is actually the second journal I had ever read.  She has very moving entries.. all about her life.  She's funny and talented.  My life is better for having "met" her.  I love her like a sister.  So RayRay meet J-land ... J-land here is Ray!!
Better Choices

Have a great night all!!

Question 64 back to childhood

What was your favorite Sunday activity as a child?

As I have said before I don't have much memory of my childhood.  I'm figuring eventually the reason for that will come out in an answer or two for this thing.  I have fragmented memories at best.

So what I can remember about Sunday's as a child... I know it was wrestling night (we watched wrestling)  I loved that!  We sometimes got to eat in the living room which was forbidden normally.  If we were good in church we would get to stop off at the store and get a candy bar.
I think my best memory is the rides to DQ with the top down on our convertible.  My sister and I would get blueberry shakes just so on the way home we could watch the blueberries blow off our spoons! 
I would say those are good enough memories.  I have learned to treasure the few I have.  Sometimes when a new one comes back to me (good ones that is) I get so thrilled.  I have  a notebook just for that.

Be sure to check back later, I will be spotlighting a journal.  Is it yours? hehe

Question 63 ~ Doctor doctor!!

How do you feel about Doctors and why?

At this time I am totally sick of doctors.  I have mixed feelings about them.  Sometimes I think a lot of them are not caring and just there for the money.  Some are not that way, but it seems to be few and far between.  I know without my doctors right now... I probably wouldn't be here, for sure my quality of life would be worse.  So I am glad for having them.  Just think they should listen a little bit more. 
When they are in the room for 10 minutes with you and have their hand on the door knob for the last 5, it's hard to think they have your best interest at heart.
I remember my doctor when I was a kid, he was great.  Too bad he is not longer practicing medicine.

Question 62

What did your grandfather's do for a living?  Did your grandmothers work?

I have no idea about my "natural" grandparents.  Only my step grandparents.  However, I want to write this about my biological family so I'm going to need to talk to my mother about this.  I will update with my answer later. I wanted to get the question out....

Question 61 ~ life after....

How do you feel about death?  What is your philosophy of the "after life?"

Well, my first response to this question was "Yikes I'm not answering this right now" That just won't work though.  I need to look at how I'm feeling about this.

Death doesn't frighten me as much as it used to, I'm not wishing for it anymore either.  I think my feelings about it change from day to day... moment to moment.  Sometimes I feel if it's my time so be it, then other times I fight like the devil to keep myself alive... Giving it to God is actually where I'm at right now.  If he's ready then I can't do anything about that.  I guess I know there will be peace, my suffering will end.
Now for the "afterlife".  I have just as many mixed feelings about that too.  The only thing I truly believe is that there is something after.. this is not it, and it has to be better then this.
I sometimes feel we come back... sometimes to "fix" our wrongs, sometimes to have a better life.  Maybe we just keep coming back until we get it "right".  Either way I hang onto the fact that there is a higher power, there is a heaven... My body will stay here and my soul will go somewhere.  Lord only knows. 
I rest easier knowing this isn't it!

Sorry I didn't post a question today, I had a very full day.. wish I could say full of good things.  But hey, the day's not over yet.  Hmm is that good or bad? ;)

Hope you all are having a good day.

Luv,
Promise

***Opps sorry everyone (who has the Journal jar on alerts) for just posting that entry in here, it was for my other journal.

Question 60 Childhood vacations

Tell about a favorite childhood vacation.

I think all we really ever did for our vacations when I was a child was to go camping.  Sometimes in tents other times in cabins.  We always had fun though.  I don't really have a favorite because they all sort of blend together.

I remember going to Duluth a lot in the summer to spend time with my aunt and uncle and their children.  That was a lot of fun (for the most part) and I looked forward to going back.

We also spent a lot of time in Hibbing with my mother's (now ex boyfriend's) mother and aunt.  She was like my grandmother.. I loved spending time with her. 

Still no one memory stands out for me.  Blocking most of my childhood out, I am hoping some more vivid memories come to mind even after I post this.
