TMI Tuesday 15th May 2018

It’s Tuesday May 15th and today I’m sharing altogether TMI in response to the prompt questions about characters, character and characteristics. Confused? Well, I hope all will become clear as you read on!

1. Who was your favourite cartoon character as a child?

I always loved Dogtanian. It was one of the only cartoons I remember watching, I was usually out in the mud or chasing my brother round on my bike. He was always the quiet one, and the one who fixed things when the others were less than capable.

2. What makes you cry?

I didn’t think a lot made me cry, aside from when I am very tired. But it seems that people (Sir in particular) can make me cry by showing me they have faith in me and my ability. That I am seen to have the characteristics of a devoted, hard worker is beautiful. I spend so much time working on myself and my growth that I sometimes forget A- How far I have come, and B- that other people can see it. It’s nice, and they are always happy tears.

3. What similarity between you and your significant other do you love?

Oooof, I have made sure that people who are significant in my life are kind and thoughtful. I try to live my life that way and value that in others.

4. What characteristic do you admire in others that you feel you are lacking?

I admire quick thinking. I am a thinker but it takes me a while to formulate my thoughts, and my comebacks are usually a bit slow. Also, it takes me a while to get a joke, unless it matches with my dry sense of humour.

5. If you could eliminate one thing from your daily schedule, what would it be?

If I didn’t need to sleep I would be so much more productive!

Bonus: You can trade places with one person for a day, who would it be?

I recently completed a wonderful course with my oldest son. It was all about recovering from domestic abuse, and opening up the lines of communication around healthy and safe relationships. It was such a challenging thing to do for so many reasons, but there have been so many positive outcomes for both of us. I met other mums and their children who have had similar experiences to me. One of the mums was only 6 months out of her relationship, and her three children all struggled in different ways with significant additional needs as a result of the trauma they have suffered. She was in such a state, understandably so. I would love to swap with her for a day; I think she could really use the day off!
