In this life change is inevitable. From the moment we wake to the setting of the sun, our bodies and emotions continue to evolve. One could argue that we possess the power to alter the severity of these changes through prayer, meditation, exercise, and diet; however, this one thing is certain: we cannot stop change. If you’re reading this and breathing you’re on your way to the end. Hopefully that doorway is far into the future.
Ben Franklin once said, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”
Well, Mr Franklin, you’re right about the dying part but not so right about paying taxes. Obviously, your crystal ball failed to reveal the Donald Trumps of this present world, and large corporations like Amazon and Netflix. But I refuse to talk politics. It’s a subject that has cost me family and friends.
BUT…
What if…what if we were allowed pick some of those changes?
I’ve borrowed the following scenarios from one of my favorite blogs, This, That, and The Other. ( https://fivedotoh.com ). It is a set of “What if we could change” questions. I thought it would be fun to venture into Neverland, and post my answers here on Redhead Reflections. If you would like to share your answers to these questions please leave them in the comments section. I always seek to better know my readers.
So, here we go…
Rory Asks About Loose Change
Right now, right this minute, what could happen that would change your life totally for the better?
Healing for someone I hold dear to my heart.
How well do you handle changes in your life, to your life, or to your regular routines?
Well, it depends on the type of changes, of course. Obviously, if I won the lottery I’d be doing cartwheels, but in general, I’m not very good with change.
If you could jump into a pool of something odd [not water] what would it be?
Rice pudding, but only if I could carry a spoon.
What would be so much better if you could simply change the color of it?
My lily-white skin. (heeeheeeeheeee)
If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future and would you change anything?
I would go back to creation and chop down all the apple trees.
Do you prefer dogs over cats or cats over dogs?
I consider cats my spiritual avatar, but, that being said, I have 3 dogs and I love them with all my heart. (Is that dodging the question?)
How would you react if you were unexpectantly changed into a frog?
Well, I sure wouldn’t eat a fly! I’d probably take advantage of my jumping ability and do somersaults in the wind.
Write a random sentence about blogging without using the letter G.
My site, Redhead Reflections, is almost 6 years old!
If you could change the world over, what would you change?
Kindness would be innate.
Why did you do that?
So mankind could truly live out the golden rule.
If you could disinvent something, what would it be and why?
War. War would never be an option. Without war, perhaps we could live in peace, where no one is taken advantage of regardless of gender, race, religion, wealth, or sexual orientation.
You have been gifted an elephant – you cannot give it away, donate it, or sell it – what are you going to do with your elephant?
I’m going to hug him, kiss him, pat him, and name him George.
What are your values with regards your life?
To be kind and help others. (sounds “cheesy” but it’s genuine)
Who do you prefer to spend the most time with?
As an introvert, I love my alone time. I find I’m a better person to all those around me when I’ve had enough me time. When I’m recharged I love spending time with my wife, children, sister, my three dogs, and two cats.
Which is worse, falling over or not getting back up again?
Not getting back up again…no explanation needed.
If the currency was happiness and goodwill, what job would you perform?
I’d be a farmer.
You have lost your Interney connection for ten days, there is no internet connection within 50 miles of where you live. It matters not about what you use to connect, it simply isn’t happening – what will you for those ten days?
Read, eat good food, and be outside.
…and that’s all folks!
