Hi! I'm your host Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". ..  Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The Blog. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. (Past hosts include: Our first - Judd Corizan, Mr. L, Kwizgiver and Bud)  Cheers to all of us thieves!

Here are thought-provoking questions:

(I inadvertently erased the link!  Sorry!)

4. What gets you excited about life?  Each new day brings new possibilities!!

6. What do you wish you spent more time doing five years ago?  Saving for retirement.

7. Do you ask enough questions or do you settle for what you know?  I ask a lot of questions.  Who knows if it is enough?

8. Who do you love and what are you doing about it?  First and foremost, I love Joe and I try to show him every day through my actions.

9. What’s a belief that you hold with which many people disagree?  That Christ died for our sins and we are saved by His blood.

10. What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?  Sleep in and not worry about getting up to go to work!

12. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?  I really don't worry about people judging me.  

13. Do you celebrate the things you do have?  I don't know that I celebrate what we have, but I am humble and thankful for the blessings I've been given.

20. Which activities make you lose track of time?  Blogging, Facebook, marathon-watching a series on TV...

21. If you had to teach something, what would you teach?  At one time I wanted to be an art teacher and an English teacher.  I guess I'll stick with that.

22. What would you regret not fully doing, being or having in your life?  I've said it before and it is still true.  I don't regret anything and I have all I need in life.

23. Are you holding onto something that you need to let go of?  Yes. Too many clothes.

24. When you are 80-years-old, what will matter to you the most?  Faith, family and dear friends.  The same things that matter most right now.

25. When is it time to stop calculating risk and rewards and just do what you know is right?  Well, others might tell you differently but I've never been "calculating" and HOPE that I have always done what it right.

Thanks to Bev Sykes for this week's Sunday Stealing!!  You can visit HERE to join in!

Update:  Cheryl was sitting in a chair yesterday but is still hooked up to a million or so tubes. Some of them are to come out today and that should make her feel better.  Hoping she will be moved to a private room on the cardiac floor tomorrow.  She is eating soft solids, which is great!

Thanks for your visit!  Peace & hugs!!
