My favorite childhood game was … playing “freeze tag”
The best movie I ever saw as a kid was … Mary Poppins – the first movie we saw as a family in the theatre instead of the drive-in
I don’t do it much but I enjoy … singing
If I could lighten up a little, I’d let myself … make friends with lots of other artists and creative people
If it weren’t too late, I’d … get a degree in Organizational Psychology
My favorite musical instrument is … the flute
The amount of money I spend on treating myself to entertainment each month is … I don’t tend to treat “myself” – my husband usually buys – hmm, I need more artist’s dates?
If I weren’t so stingy with my artist I’d buy her … studio space and more art classes
Taking time out for myself is … something I try to do daily
I am afraid that if I start dreaming … I’ll succeed – I’m not afraid of failure, just success

Yeah, expansion is a better word for it than recovery. Good one.
Hey! Your masthead changed when I commented! That’s super cool! How’d you do that?

It’s not too late!! If that’s your passion — Go for it!
I enjoyed this. I haven’t done this exercise yet except that when I first read it through I said If I could lighten up I’d let myself make friends. That surprised me and here it is on your list too. I might answer the question now – if I could lighten up I’d let myself believe there are kindred spirits around every turn. I really do enjoy your perspective. – and thanks for adding me to your blog roll.
The top picture rotates through a series of about 8 different pictures. Someday, when I figure out how it works, I’ll put some of my own there. ;^)
Glad you enjoyed, Kara! It is on my list because of a horrible fallout with friends a few years back that led to a severe ipolar episode. I had a couple of “friends” completely cut me off and stop speaking to me. It makes it difficult to trust again. But, I am learning!
