Are these David Austin roses not the most gorgeous roses you’ve ever seen? Looking at these makes me want to escape to an English garden. Speaking of English gardens, has anyone ever taken an Enneagram test? You can find them on the internet. Sometimes they are free (you have to look around). I can’t find the link to the last one I took, but I remember my number, it is 1–the idealist and reformer. I think I consistently get 1 because I tend to be a rule follower. I just am. I feel secure, stable, and safe when I do. I don’t pretend to know why these things are so vitally important to me, but I know that everyone probably wants to feel secure and safe; some just don’t prioritize those things the way I do. I don’t think that I realized how strong my feelings were about ethics, leading an ethical life, ethical choices, thoughts, decisions, and lifestyle until I took an ethics class that really challenged me in 2006.
Speaking of enneagram’s, have you taken this cute test that features all of the houses in Nancy Meyer’s movies?
If I go by my enneagram test results (1), I would be matched up with the perfectionist, Amanda Woods, in The Holiday. That’s so not true in this case. Since I’ve watched all of them many times (I own them too), I know where my heart lies and it’s in this one:
Iris Simpkin’s House
Because when it comes to my home, clothing, and style, it’s always been about being an individualist for me.
Doesn’t Iris’s living room make you want to book a week in a cozy English cottage in Shere?
I am so there after the last two months that I’ve had, but yet, here I am on my blog. Because when life is difficult, busy, frustrating, happy, overwhelming, exceptional, where else would I be? I’m a writer. I write.
I’ve been busy with a lot of things since December’s end. One of them has been my continual transitioning from 3rd shift remote work to 1st remote work for almost forever. I may actually get it accomplished by spring. I am currently planning our early spring escape to Montreal, Canada. I’ve never been, but always wanted to. There’s no time like the present.
