Yesterday, my friend, Ruth, share a post with 10 little-known facts about herself. I’ve been a little quiet here lately and thought this might be a fun way to get some words “down on paper”. At the beginning of a new year, (well, it’s still sort of the start of a new year, right?) I thought this might be a fun way to share with you a little more about myself.
So - here are 10 little-known facts about me.
1. My first son was born on my 25th birthday. They induced me the day before, but he hung out and waited till my birthday. Now it’s our birthday, and he is the best birthday present! Here he was, at 2 days old (and, no, he never lost his hair):
2. I love bookstores and I love to buy books. However, I rarely finish a book. Don’t get me wrong - I read a lot, but if a particular chapter or section doesn’t keep my attention, I skip it. (Sorry, to all my friends who are avid readers.)
3. I don’t like to ask for help. No matter what it is. It may be small like carrying groceries, or bigger things like childcare. (I am getting better at this.)
4. This may not be little-known to my friends, but the rest of you probably don’t know that I don’t like wearing shoes. I’d rather wear slippers or flip-flops. Barefoot is even better.
5. I would prefer an evening hanging out with a couple of friends, over a large get-together with a lot of people. In general, I’m not a fan of large groups or crowds.
6. I have an overall favorite color - dark green - and a favorite color for each season.
Spring - pink (but not pale pink, more of a deep, rich pink)
Summer - yellow (like sunflowers)
Fall - orange (a close runner-up is a cranberry shade of red)
Winter - red & silver
7. Tulips are my favorite flowers - but not the kind with the pointy petals (although they are beautiful). I like the ones with the soft, rounded petals.
8. I would rather go out for breakfast than for lunch or dinner. I love breakfast but don’t often make big breakfasts at home. I wish I was a little more awake in the mornings to do that. I make up for it by making huge breakfasts for dinner sometimes.
9. I love to stand outside on a bright, sunny day, lean my head back, close my eyes, breathe deeply, and thank God for peace in that moment.
10. I have some fun hopes to visit New York City in every season. Last summer, my husband and I went up to NYC for a day and it was fabulous. We had a 1-day adventure all over the city, including Central Park (pictured below) seeing many different sites and it was amazing! I’d love to do that each season. One season down, three to go!
