Questions to Ponder

The Golden Girls and I travel a couple of times a year. We are each required to bring a list of questions. As mentioned in previous posts, we cut them in little strips and carry them with us everywhere. It's a great way to get caught up on our lives and our mindset. Here's a sampling of the list I brought last year:

If you could trade lives for one day with someone you know personally, who would it be and why?

What's the best thing you've done this year?

Who from your past would you like to reconnect with?

If you were back in college, what would you choose as your major?

Name one trait in your children that you know comes from you.

What songs do you want at your funeral?

Would you ever remarry?

What do you pray for?

At what age did you feel like an adult? At what age did you feel middle aged?

Where were you on 9/11/01?

If you had to pick one CD/album to listen to for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?

What technology are you most befuddled by?

Are you politically active? How have you instilled this in your children?

Who can you count on when the chips are down?

Are regrets a bad thing? What do you regret?

Are friendships a fluke or a destiny?

What languages do you wish you could speak fluently?

Name one thing you know you'll never do but wish you had.

If you won a dream makeover, what would you have done?

If you could re-do your wedding, what would you do differently?

Is there a picture of you "out there" that you regret?

Other than a wedding ring, what's your favorite piece of jewelry or accessory?

We're mid-40s. If you found out tomorrow that you were pregnant, what would you do?

Name one thing you wish you had more time for.

Ask yourself. Ask your friends. I would ask the oldies but apparently, I already ask too many questions.
