Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. Monday was National Apple Day...did you eat an apple or enjoy something made with apples on Monday? Do you like apples? Do you prefer your apples raw, baked, or in cider? Do you have a favorite variety of apple? 

I usually eat an apple everyday.  When winding down before going to bed, I eat an apple with peanut butter for a snack.  My favorite apple is Granny Smith.  I enjoy raw apples and baked apples.  

2. Do you think there's any truth to the saying 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'. Of the following healthy habits which do you find easiest to incorporate into your life and which is the most difficult for you to adopt-

adequate sleep, a balanced diet, plenty of water, eat breakfast, don't smoke, exercise, limit alcohol,  include fruits and vegetables in your diet, manage stress, limit screen time

I don't believe the saying, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' but it can't hurt because apples are nutritious fruit.'s 

The easiest would be don't smoke (because I don't), exercise ( I try to do this weekly), limit screen time (pretty good about this one), limit alcohol (I don't mind an occasional drink, but can be mature enough to stop).

Hardest for me to adopt would be: adequate sleep (just hard for me to fall asleep and stay asleep...blaming it on hormones), eating a balanced diet (being just me, I don't cook and if and when I do, I hate eating by myself), manage stress ( I stress a lot here lately)

3. Who taught you how to drive? Do you enjoy driving? Would you rather be the driver or the passenger?  Do you have a favorite scenic drive near you? 

My father taught me how to drive.  I don't mind driving, but would rather be the passenger when taking long trips.  There a couple of scenic drives near me...Blue Ridge Parkway and White Top Mountain.

4. What small habit has had a big impact on your life? 

First thing I do in the mornings, is make my bed.  EVEN before coffee.  Making my bed, tells my brain I have accomplished my first task for the day!

5. Tell us about something nice that happened to you recently.

I was late getting to Sunday School.  When I walked in, a person said she was getting ready to call me to make sure I was okay.  Just knowing someone is there to check on you is nice.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

The trees are finally changing and the mountains are beautiful.  I can't believe we are getting near the end of October and the trees are finally changing!!  In my neck of the woods, by this time,there are no leaves what so ever on the trees. 

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!
