    What needs to be in my collage...

    Tuesday Blogwalk Topic provided by: Linda

    If you could paint a collage of your life, what would be the 20 most important things that you would have to add to make the picture complete? It can be good, bad, ugly or nice and funny. What makes you the person you are today?

     
     

    Twenty things? This could be hard but I will try......

    1) My kids

    2) My husband

    We have been together since I was seventeen, he's a big part of who and what I am today

    3) My family

    Mother, Father, Sisters...etc.

    4) My Uncle

    I think the first death you ever have to deal with teaches you alot about yourself

    5) Humor

    It's how I deal with alot of things, and if I can make you laugh it puts a smile on my face

    6) Peace

    I really dislike conflicts

    7) Nothing bold

    I don't like to stand out

    8) Books

    I love reading

    9) Romance

    I'm a total romantic....hubby knows this

    10) Dogs

    Specifically, Daschunds. I had one while growing up. She meant alot to me, we were really close. She was bought for the whole family, but everyone knew she was really mine. When my Dad died and we were getting some of his personal things, he had a lifelike statue of one. My sisters without hesitation said it should go to me. It's now in my livingroom.

    11) A turtle

    Why a turtle? Everyone will tell you it's how I react in some situations. Really, I'm just withdrawing so I can think the situation over carefully before I do or say something I don't want to.

    12) A Tenor Saxophone

    I played it all through jr. and sr. high school. I was even in the jazz choir. I love music.

    13) Garfeild

    When I was five, I could draw him freehand. Having him in it would represent that I like to draw things....and that I love Lasagna.

    14) My friends

    I may not have many, but the ones I have are really good ones. I couldn't be who I am without them.

    15) A piggy bank

    Yes I like to save. Maybe never having enough money has taught me to hang on to it rather than spend it?

    16) A sad face

    Represents the depression I went through and was in for a very long time. Going through it and coming out of it has alot to do with the way I am today.

    17) A broken Ladder

    Represents my fear of heights. I think it has alot to do with a fall down a flight of stairs when I was really young. When you are young, the bottom of the stairs seems a long way away....

    18) A heart shape

    All the love I have in my life

    19) An eye and ear

    I'm the quiet observer who likes to listen

    20) A unicorn

    Represents alot of things....things I like, hope, dreams, imagination

    Glad you visited my space.  Haven't been able to spend a lot of time on it.  Our cable has been out a lot lately (probably because of the heat, who knows). 

    Yes Patricia is my given name (my Mom is the only one that calls me that, and that's when she's mad at me) I like Patty the best.  (Often asked though, is that with an i or a Y??? ). 

    I don't think I have had anyone apologize to me for being mean , but that's  OK>

    REDHEADS RULE (whether it comes from a bottle or the real thing :)  time to be a redhead again!!!!!

    Take care - *** Patty***

    hi Sherri,

     

      Stopping in to say hi and to thank you for all your visits to my blog.  I am not doing so well at getting around to other peoples blogs as often as I probably should.  The heat is a little much for even me these days.  100 degrees is plenty warm!  No air conditioning here.  We dont get too many really hot days. 

     

     I was thinking about your post.  You said, "  how you deal with your first death, teaches you alot about yourself".  Trying to remember how I delt with my first death.  I hope you are staying cool and having a great weekend!  Its almost over already.  It comes and goes so fast.  Take care...

    The first death one deals with as an adult is most certainly a defining moment.

    Hi
     
    Love this answer too.  I cannot believe how different but alike most of the answers are.  Gives one a lot to think about.
     
    I have been there in depression, but have found ways to dig myself out.  I had a great friend who helped alot, by telling me to "dump the shit".   When the bucket gets too full, imagine yourself dumping it and starting again.  After awhile, the bucket does not seem as full.
     
    I have a wierd thing, when someone says something, I literally see it.  So this was also a humorous to me.
     
    anyway, thanks for participating this week.
