In response to Di’s weekly Prompt:

Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you wear glasses, and if so, can you remember your first pair?

Yes, I do.

I got my first pair in 1989, when I was studying.
I still remember them clearly — they had a red frame. At the time they felt very modern and bold.

2. If you were a precious stone, what would best describe you?

There are so many beautiful stones, but two that have always spoken to me are moonstone and amethyst.

Moonstone feels mystical and connected to intuition and inner light.
Amethyst carries calm, wisdom, and spiritual depth.

Both resonate with me.

3. At home, do you wear slippers, slipper socks, or walk around barefoot?

Slippers.

They are easy to slip on and off, and our tiled floors can feel quite cold — even during summer.

4. How many pillows do you sleep with at night?

At least two pillows.

Because I have chronic parotitis, it can hurt to lie completely flat.
During flare-ups I sometimes end up almost sitting while sleeping just to stay comfortable.

Gratitude

I’m grateful for small comforts — warm slippers, supportive pillows, and quiet evenings.

And for the resilience of the body and spirit, even when they ask us to slow down.
