Happy Sunshine Day!

Yesterday Barbina at Little Things Made with Love passed the sunshine award my way with 10 questions to answer.

1.  Favorite animal:  The elephant.  We've had the privilege of interacting with elephants in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal.  They are smart, gentle, hard working, amazing animals!

2.  Favorite number:   #7   Don't know why.  Wikipedia provides all sorts of useful (and not so useful) information.  Who knew there was so much to be said about a number!

3.  Favorite non-alcoholic drink:  Water is my main beverage of choice.  With the heat we have to endure, there's nothing better than a big glass of ice cold water.  (Although a beer would be nice, too.)

4.  Facebook or Twitter:  Neither.

5.  My passion:  Spreading joy.  A smile. A gift.  A hug when needed.  A helping hand.  A handmade gift.  Homemade goodies.  It is the simple things that mean the most.

6.  Getting or giving:  Definitely giving.  Especially when least expected.

7.  Favorite pattern:  Way too many to choose from.  Anything quick and easy that doesn't require a lot of concentration.  Sometimes it's just nice to make things up as you go along.

8.  Favorite day of the week:  Saturday as it is the one day without obligation.  The one day I can choose to do as I please.

9.  Favorite flower:  I am very happy that my moss roses are able to survive each and ever year in this desert country.

10. Favorite country:  Too hard to choose.  We've been to so many and each has something unique and wonderful to offer.  My favorite quote is "An old friend met in a far country is like rain after drought."  (Chinese proverb)

My friend Rizwana in Sri Lanka.
