Adrift On The Breeze…the answers

Written by: Debbie

Here are the answers to what those bubbles below mean. IF you are here and have not read the quiz below, please stop! Scroll down and take the quick quiz. Then return here, it will be a whole lot more fun, I promise.

The shimmering bubbles you blow in your imagination are symbols of your hopes and dreams. The scene you described reveals how you think about the dreams you hope someday will come true.

1. The bubbles you blow float away high into the sky.
You see your own dreams as elusive and unattainable, flying away from you like soap bubbles on the wind. Maybe you’re wishing for too much, too soon or are caught up in an impossible fantasy. Whatever the case may be, the gap between your dreams and reality is wide. As much as you may like to tell others of your grand schemes and plans for the future, somewhere inside of yourself is a voice telling you just how fragile and fleeting those dreams are.

2. You are blowing hundreds of tiny bubbles through your plastic ring.
You’ve set your sights on the immediate attainable – new clothes, a car, a boyfriend or girlfriend. Your dreams are sensible and always within your reach. Decide what it is you want most in the world and work for it. If you chase after everything at once, you stand a good chance of ending up empty-handed.

3. You’re concentrating on blowing a single enormous bubble.
You have a single, all important dream or ambition that drives your entire life. Hold on to that desire and keep striving toward your goal. Given time, you’ll see that it’s not so far from your grasp.

4. The bubbles you make are blown behind you on the breeze.
Your disappointing experience with unfulfilled hopes and dreams in the past shapes how you think today. But the experience of chasing after and losing a few dreams along the way was all just training for you as you make new goals for the future. Don’t be afraid to keep dreaming – the only people who never fail are those who never try.

Adrift On The Breeze

Written by: Debbie

It is Spring Break for my youngest son, so I am taking some time to enjoy his company. We are planning a trip to the local airport to investigate his taking flying lessons. We plan a trip to one of the amusement parks (his choice) and are taking an art class together. He is also spending time with his beloved monkeys at the Primate Sanctuary where he volunteers and with his human friends.

I share this only to make excuses for not posting something terribly original today. None the less, I think this is fun. It is another quiz from the great game book, Kokology- The Game Of Self Discovery.

This game is named, Adrift On The Breeze.

Can you still remember those long summer days when school was out, you had no responsibilities, and there was nothing but time from when you woke up till the sun finally went down? Time for play and adventure, time to daydream and roam. Hours to spend on childhood diversions…..flying kites…watching clouds…blowing bubbles…

Imagine you are out again on a childhood summer’s day, blowing bubbles in and open field. Which of the following best describes the scene you imagined?

1. The bubbles you blow float away high into the sky.
2. You are blowing hundreds of tiny bubbles through your plastic ring.
3. You’re concentrating on blowing a single enormous bubble.
4. The bubbles you make are carried behind you on the breeze.

Pick one, comment and I will posts the meaning behind the bubbles in the next post.

A Night At The Symphony

Written by: Debbie

The following short quiz is fun and the results are interesting. It is taken from a great little book, Kokology, The Game Of Self Discovery by Tadakiko Nagao and Isamu Saito.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s something magical about a night at the symphony—-
a sense of expectation and pure pleasure. Imagine being able to take a place on that stage among the other musicians, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform at your very best.

If you could join the orchestra, what instrument do you see yourself playing?

1. Violin

2. String bass
3. Trumpet
4. Flute

I will post the meanings of the answers later today. For now, just note what instrument you would play and we shall see how close to your personality we come!

OK, here’s the match up to you and your choice of instruments:

1. String bass

There’s a feeling of power gotten from taking position behind an enormous bass and making it call out in a tremendous moan. In love, your skill rests in the ability to bend your partners to your will, taking complete control, and driving them onward to pleasures they never imagined they could experience. You never ask permission, but that dominating character is what makes you so irresistible.

2. Trumpet

There’s no getting around it — your mouth is the strongest weapon in your arsenal. Whether it’s whispering love talk in your partner’s ear or exploring them with your lips, you have all the characteristics of the oral personality.

3. Flute

the flute demands incredible patience from those who want to master it. You show the same patience in the way you wear down partners with your persistence, determination and stamina. Your lover are often taken off guard when what they thought would be a brief recital quickly develops into a full concerto in six movements.

and the one many of you have been waiting for….

drum roll…..

4. The Violin

The violin demands sensitive finger work and a delicate touch with the bow to draw forth music from the taut strings. You see yourself as having the same awareness and skill in locating and playing upon your partners’ most sensitive points. There’s a sens of adventure in the way your hands can create such beautiful music by running over the same familiar notes.
