Moving Thoughts Friday










Every Friday I’m going to ask a question. The questions I choose might be ambiguous on purpose. The goal is to have you answer the question according to your beliefs, where you’re at in life or a circumstance that might have recently impacted you. The only thing I ask is that you provide an explanation for why you answered the way you did.

It’s my hope to understand you better through this and also to gain a greater understanding of humanity and how people make decisions.






This is my 500th post!



In honor of that I’d like you to finish this…














I’d like to be surrounded by 500 ____________________.

  1. Books! But it would be a little depressing because there wouldn't be time to read them all. Sigh.

  3. round trip train tickets, all to be used within the next four years .. anywhere within US/Canada. Yeah, that would do it. And each time I'd take someone different with me.. I'd take a friend, or my kids, or my spouse or just someone who needed to get away to some adventure. And I'd write about each adventure, discovery, people on the trains .. and take lots of pictures. So many pictures.

  4. Congratulations on your 500th post, Wendy! That's awesome.

    I'd like to be surrounded by 500 friends, including YOU. Since I'm a one-on-one person, though, I'd like time to visit with each one individually. Is that asking too much? =)

  8. Kittens wearing tall hats! Each with a dark chocolate bar of a different sort, for me to share with my friends.

    I love kittens, dark chocolate, and friends, that's why. The tall hats make a party.

    And I can pretty much just copy Keli Gwyn's answer as mine. I'd love to be surrounded by 500 friends, as long as I had time to sit down and catch up with them all individually.

  14. Congratulations on your 500th post! What a wonderful milestone.

    I'd like to be surrounded by...hmmm, I like Jennifer Shirk's answer of Twix bars. But I think I might rather be surrounded by 500 acres of rolling hills and wooded areas, with a cozy cabin stocked with all the amenities for a fun week away. With my family along of course. :)

  25. Yahoo on your 500th post!!

    Ok, so truthfully, I don't know if I'd want to be surrounded by 500 of anything -- doesn't that kind of seem like a lot?! Maybe I should say 500 book contracts? Ha -- that sounds a little overwhelming. I'd take just one!
