It was few years ago. I just sat on a leaf and waited for autumn.

What's your party piece?

edit to add...^^ahhh..brilliant answer!
skip this post, please...no time to re-write now....just continue with the party piece question, please....
.............
I never have gotten stuck up a tree, but I have felt vertigo in a way, climbing up high and
then needing to purposefully take deep breaths and ground myself trying to get down....

I do remember a few years ago a half siamese kitten we had for a short while and he
got out and went straight up a tree and mewed and mewed for help to get down...
eventually, my older male cat climbed up and literally showed this tiny kit how to back down...

it was pretty incredible....

and to the previous question - i honestly would not wish to change any aspect of my life...
seems pointless to me to have lived it if I didn't believe in the purpose of going through it all...

so, to re-wind - if you could change every aspect of your life, would you want to?

I would have ordered up a different mother AND brother ( they were both extremely psycho in a diagnosable way! )
I would have changed my father's job to one where we stayed in the same place more than a year so I could have long term
friends like so many others I met seem to.

I wouldn't have changed everything. I wouldn't change a thing about my Dad. He was the light of my life and the source of my
compassion and creative abilities.

What would you change, if you could, for someone dear to you?

An experience that my ex wife had to endure.

If you had the chance to change every aspect of your life,start afresh would you be brave enough to go for it?

Every aspect of my current life! Yes, I could and would do it.
That is actually on the near horizon for me so I have had lots of time to think about it and plan it.

How do you leave the things you can't change behind and not carry them into your present and future life?

Hmm posts on change. That I am an expert on. My native friend says, "Alicia, you can feel it in the air, the wind of change is blowing." Indeed. I feel an autumnal equinox coming on.

Exactly the way you said. You leave them. Walk away. Some people needs a visual symbol, like a broom sweeping their cares away, or problems going down the drain with the bathwater. Recently I have become unhappy with myself. I am not the person I have grown accustomed to being. I've had to ask myself, "What happened to make me change this way?" and "What can I do to be happy again?"

Lately I have also been thinking of longer term changes. In a year or so I would like to rent out this monstrous house, and move into a small A frame house with my son. By then my daughter will be at college. It has a lovely little ten acre lot, a creek, in the country, only a block from the river. It's small, so we won't have room for all the stuff. Perfect.

I have decided to let go of the things that do not bring joy into my life.
I wouldn't change everything. Some of the more painful moments taught me a great deal about people, love, and life. It's who I am. It's my story.

How do you relax?

I come looking for you guys. Yeah, the forums help me. They take my mind off me (so do books and movies).

Ambien started a thread about tv shows which got me thinking about some that I have really enjoyed. I think my favorite shows have been 24 and 3rd Rock from the Sun. I really miss the Solomon's even though they weren't even real *sniffle*

What are/were your favorite shows?

I don't watch much telly but I like Red dwarf, Scrubs, Black Adder and I must admit to watching the X Factor with the kids. There's a new one started called Must be the music where the people have all their own material, struggling to make it in the music world, I do like that at the mo. There's some real talent on there.



Do you read one book at a time or do you two or three different books on the go at once.

I read the first few pages then put it down to be forgotten about forever.


Can you play a musical instrument to a decent level?

No, but I've dated three drummers, does that count?

What's your favourite dinner scenario? What, where and with whom would you eat?
