So…what exactly is the Monday Poll?
Great question! Despite what its name suggests, it’s not a straightforward poll with clickable options. Instead, it’s a collection of somewhat random questions that I’ve been sharing on this blog every Monday morning for ages (since 2007).
1. Mountains or desert?
Mountains, preferably in a place bursting with various shades of green and either a river or a lake. Sure, my allergies might go wild, but at least my heart will be content.
2. Something you plan to do in 2025?
Making choices driven by optimism rather than fear. Too often, I tend to worry unnecessarily about all the elements involved and each tiny detail that might go awry. I refuse to let fear hold me back any longer. Life is too short.
3. How easily do you find yourself crying?
I’m absolutely a crybaby. However, it’s not solely because I’m sad. When I feel angry, frustrated, or anxious, my body tends to release what it needs to through tears. It can be quite the nuisance.
4. Your current favorite shampoo and hair conditioner?
I’ve been purchasing Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel Shampoo and Conditioner in extra large sizes since the fall. There have been lice outbreaks in all the elementary schools, and even though our pediatrician mentioned that they usually decrease in winter, I’m pretty paranoid about it.
5. A piece of instrumental music you adore?
“Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy.
