Food 4 Thought Friday

Breakfast
Are you a morning or night person?
I'm a night person. I like to stay up late even if I know the morning is going to be tough. Once the children are in bed and I am on my own, I am able to get much more accomplished.

Lunch
What do you do when you are feeling lonely?
When I am feeling lonely, I sing, play music, or hop on the computer. Lonely times don't come often in my house.

Dinner
What made you smile today?
After basketball practice, my daughter said she "was actually sweating". I wonder what she thought she was supposed to be doing?!

Midnight Snack
What did you do today that made you feel guilty?
I didn't bike or run today, even though I told myself I would.

Recipe for the Week
(instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)
2 parts patience
3 parts love
1 part perseverance
1 part leadership
