Do you use paper money? If so is your money organized sequentially according to denomination?
I do – but not too often. Cash is used only at the stores that do not take credit/debit cards. Most times I take out my credit card to pay – or even my debit card. It is so much easier to pay the balance of what I owe at the end of the month. The paper money I keep in my purse for the odd occasion is arranged with the smaller denominations in front.
You are comfortable doing nothing? For long stretches of time?
I do not often sit doing nothing – my fingers always feel the need to do something. The times I do sit still is when I am admiring nature. Or if I am waiting for someone, I spend the time people watching. I find it interesting to see a snapshot of a person going about their day.
What is your greatest strength?
(This question sounds like one of those that are asked at an interview 🙂 )
I am loyal: loyal to my family, and loyal to my friends. My loyalty towards a person, or even a place, is broken only after many hurts and frequent disappointments. I am a person who will do many things for my family and help them when I can.
At work, I am also loyal – especially the longer I stay at a place. I am also passionate about my work and I love what I do. Teaching, to me, is a calling and even when I wasn’t paid well, I knew that I was playing an important part in the community.
What would you answer to any of these questions?

Great questions! I rarely use paper money anymore. I try if I buy anything under $10, but I’m not usually eating out for lunch, and dinner costs more. So… maybe a coffee here and there during the day!

There have been times when I had to pull out my card to buy coffee as I did not have enough cash on me 😀

I used cash today and and the woman at the store was surprised – she had already gotten the credit card machine ready for me. Most people just use plastic to pay these days, I think.

It is so much easier – and there is no need to go to the bank and draw money.

Colleen, I think the inability to sit still is a teacher thing. Before I retired my evenings were spent constantly working on school things while watching TV out of the corner of my eye or just listening and now I find it nearly impossible to watch TV without doing something with my hands. I think it’s important to be able to relax and so I work on it but often end up checking my email or playing a game on my phone. Cash? usually if it’s something under $10. but I like to chalk up air miles so now use my card even driving through McDonald’s. I am innovative. I was in the classroom and I am at home. I am able to improvise and be creative in solving problems. Sometimes I’m slow starting something but then it turns out there was a better way to do it and once I come up with it, I’m totally into it. Fun exercise. I enjoyed learning a bit more about you.

Being innovative is something a teacher has to be as well I think. So often we have to change plans, or figure out ways in which to explain things.
Thanks for playing along. It is a fun way to connect 😊

Loyalty is a wonderful trait. My daughter’s in 6th grade and that’s how she described some of her best friends — even at her young age she recognizes what it means when someone has your back.
Loved reading your answers!

Loyal friends are so important at her age. It is good to know she has some.

My first answer is similar to yours. When it comes to sitting still, I often think I could do it for hours. Then I sit in meditation and find I want to move. My mind and body are contrary that way. 🙂

I think we need to train ourselves to sit still completely. I have never tried meditation so I don’t know how well I would do at it 😊

I’m big on loyalty too Colline. I think it’s a v.v. v good quality (and it gets me some nice treats!) Love Ben xx
