Reverb10: Days 8-10

Catching up with some slightly abbreviated answers for Reverb10:


December 8 � Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different � you�ll find they�re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)


The thing that makes me feel the most different is the way I tend to look at the world.  Yes, I have opinions like everyone else, but I prefer to see the world as if I am looking through a window.  It is an interesting perspective to view topics from an impartial view looking at all sides.  I find that it really helps me to form a solid opinion about a topic without putting emotional or religious views in the mix.  Although there are still some things I can't help but allow my emotions to dictate my opinion.

December 9 � Party Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans. (Author: Shauna Reid)


I am NOT a party person so we don't have or attend very many parties.  I prefer more intimate gatherings of friends to big blow out parties.  So my favorite party this year was a smaller gathering of some of my closest friends.  I was selected to host a Hasbro Game Night party.  So we had about 10 people, including 3 kids, over to our house to play games that Hasbro sent for the party.  We had dinner, played games and even had a funny hat contest.  It really was a lot of fun and I wish that we had more opportunities to have game night parties like that with our friends.  


December 10 � Wisdom Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out? (Author: Susannah Conway)


The wisest decision I made this year was to invest my money and time into crafting.  It has been a rough year for me where it comes to stress and I really needed an outlet.  Crafting, sewing and painting have really been great stress relievers for me and I really wish I had started taking time to create sooner.
