Cee’s Share Your World questions and my response:

List 2 things you have to be happy about?

I need the help of all the fingers and toes when I count my blessings.

I’m happy to have my daughter Mercy, her husband Will and now my granddaughter Autumn in my life. They have brought so much joy to me. I’m delighted to see Mercy and Will strive to grow individually as well as together. I was touched to watch them day by day, learn to be loving parents. Autumn is an adorable baby with good temperament. Mercy said, “This little girl melts my heart every day.” I’m privileged to share the same joy with her.

I’m thankful for my husband Lynton. Now he is retired and enjoys cooking every meal for me and doing all the dishes. Even when he is fasting occasionally, he still cooks for me. He enjoys so much working on the home projects one thing after another. I feel good that he takes care of things before they become problems.

I’m grateful to be alive, surrounded by longtime friends, able to serve others in counseling, and can learn new things every day.

Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewelry?

I collected rocks for many years. I am showing a few pieces of amethyst that I got from different trips. They are inexpensive, so they don’t have too much purple color. When we went to Australia, I bought many pieces of black opal. Three of them were set on pendants and a ring. I still have four pieces not set on jewelry.

Are you a hugger or a non-hugger?

I’m a big hugger. I like to hug with my arms around with a little squeeze and a few pats. My family and Lynton’s families are huggers. When we have family gatherings, everyone goes around to hug everyone when arriving and leaving the party. All the children grow up doing the same thing. Of course, we would do it with discretion in social settings.

What inspired you or what did you appreciate this past week?  Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination. 

Last week, Autumn had her first coughing and stuffy nose. I happened to call Mercy and we had a nice talk about that. Autumn probably picked up some bugs from the daycare. She didn’t have temperature or infection. The pediatrician said it might take two weeks to go away without medication. I seem to have a strong emotional connection with Mercy. A little bird always tells me to call her in the right timing. I wouldn’t want to miss talking with her about Autumn’s first cough and stuffy nose.
