Happy Tuesday! Thank you for joining me and Jenn for another edition of Tuesday Topics. Remember to link up with us! Visit at least two of the other linked posts – the more the merrier! Don’t forget to come back for later linkers!
I wrote a post of things that came to my mind that start with the letter “M”. Today, it is about the letter “J” because it is the 10th letter of the alphabet and it is the 10th day in September.
• Joy. I am going through a phase right now and I am looking for joy wherever I go. I am trying very hard to be positive but sometimes that doesn’t go well. Please tell Joy to come back!
• Jail. I have never been to jail..not even to visit anyone. Based on what I see on TV, it looks like a scary place.
• Jeans. I love them! I was so happy when I found out that I can wear jeans everyday to work as long as I have a spirit wear top. Unfortunately, the pairs I have no longer fit and I refuse to buy new ones. I will fit back into them.
• Jalapeño. This is great with salsa, nachos, and on pizza. I also like jalapeño poppers.
• Journey. The first thing that came to my mind was the music group. 🙂 But then I started thinking about my journey in life. I believe that everything happens for a reason so sometimes I think about the things have have happened and the reason they were supposed to happen.
• Jaws. This movie FREAKED me out!
• Job. I am grateful for my job. It is rewarding but exhausting. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it either. This is my 16th year working in the same District. Hopefully, I can retire from the school I am working at now.
• Jetlag. One of the worst feelings. A few years ago I went to Spain with two other friends. I remember one of them told me not to take a nap but to instead go with them to sightsee. Nope. Sleep won.
• Jealousy. It is a horrible feeling. I am not proud but there have been a couple of times in which I’ve felt jealous of other people.
• Jibarito. It “is a sandwich that uses flattened, fried green plantains instead of bread, and is typically served with meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato.” If you ever get a chance to eat one, do it.
The topic for next week – What are your Fall running plans or race schedule? Feel free to write about this or any running-related topic. We hope you’ll link up with us!
I love your first point on joy and also your gratitude for your job.
I think these two qualities – finding joy and gratitude – can really make a huge difference in our lives.
Every week, I make a list of things that I am grateful for and that I loved about my week. It’s surprising how many good things there are!
I agree with you. But sometimes finding the joy is hard. I am working on it. We are learning about Buddhism with my students and I find it very fascinating!
Joy is my word for 2024.
Lately life has not been very joyful but things could be worse and I plan to turn things around.
Hope you have some as well.
I tell myself that things could be worse. Things are worse for other people.
I would love to get my hands on that jibarito! It looks and sounds amazing!
Jaws scared me, too. The movie, the book, the old ride at Universal. I wouldn’t get in my pool for the longest time after seeing it!
For sure, you can get a jibarito in Florida.
