2. What's one word you tend to abbreviate in your writing or speech? (as in rizz for charisma)

I don't remember. I'm sure I must and it will come to mind when I do it. 

3. Are you a Hallmark Movie watcher this time of year? What's your favorite character from a holiday- themed movie, book, or TV special? 

I feel like such a rebel - No I am not into Hallmark movies or movies that are similar. They make me feel uncomfortable. I mostly enjoy documentaries and historical dramas. There are some exceptions. 

Right now I can't think of any holiday movie, book, or TV special that has a character I like. Sorry, I'm drawing a blank. 

People tend to stress me out when they are stressed. As a formerly stressed person, who used to get overwhelmed, I try and stay away from those who are all over the place. I don't want or need to be drawn in. 

Emotionally I am feeling awesome. I don't feel rushed or under the gun. It's a great feeling. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

My son, Navy is friends with an 85-year-old Veteran. John never married and has no children. He has dementia. Navy is helping to locate his nephew for him - he talked with the social workers to find out the legalities. John gave my son the names of his parents. I then looked up on Ancestry and found the nephew. He is 53 years old. We are hoping to find an address for the nephew who had the Power of Attorney when John first entered the home - My son says he is watching the rapid decline of John who wishes to find his nephew. 

It blows me away, how my 39-year-old son is so caring. It brings tears to my eyes. This isn't the first time he has done things like this. I do pray that we can give John some closure so he can rest easy and that his last family member will be notified when that time comes. 

Thanks for dropping by this Hodgepodge Wednesday.
