1. How did you name your blog and do you now wish you had thought about it maybe another five minutes before hitting publish? Would you change your blog title if it were not a huge pain in the derriere?
It came from one of my very favorite movies with Drew Barrymore called "Ever After." There is a scene where she says "Just Breathe" right before attending an royal party. It is a Cinderella movie and I saw it three times at the show. I love it!
So those words have to do with my lungs and COPD and that's how I got my blog name. No I have no plans to ever change the name. Its meaning means even more to me today then when I started blogging in 2009 and my second post was about my title.
2. What bill do you least like to pay?
I don't pay the bills, Mark does, but I'm sure he hates paying the cable bill. He's always saying we are going to get rid of it.
3. What is your favorite word? Okay okay, calm down. How about one of your favorite words?
Of course I am drawing a blank! I'm sure you don't want to hear a word I use pretty often. So let's just say that "James" is my favorite word now.
4. Is the glass half full or half empty? Elaborate.
Let's just say my glass is always half empty.
5. Were you here for that very first Hodgepodge post? If so, were your answers then similar to what they are today? Tell us what was happening in your life in November of 2010?
I believe I started near the beginning. My first Hodgepodge post was on November 17, 2010. I think my answers sound similar to me. According to one of the questions I had recently been to Chicago.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We babysat James last Thursday evening and had so much fun with him. He is my happy place. Honestly, I could be in pain and having difficulty breathing and it all goes away when I am with him. He's good medicine!

I've always been bad at coming up with names, and when I named my blog it was because I was planning on it just being photos, editing and digital scrapbooking. Now it doesn't really fit but it is what it is and it shall stay...lol
Aww shoot, I should have said Nana. My brain wasn't working I guess. You are one of the early bloggers here. So many bloggers from those early days no longer blog. I miss that. I think blogs are more like conversations than Instagram posts tend to be. Thanks for sticking with it! Have a great day!
James is a very safe word. 😆 grandkids are truly like medicine, aren’t they? My son had a friend in high school who called me Little Penpen. I haven’t seen him in years, but I still think of him often,
That's darn interesting about your blog's name -- I'd no idea.
Chuckling about your reference to the word used pretty often. Suspect I'm right there, too. Gotta work on that, on account I don't want to be 'that' old lady in the nursing home. Ha!
I have a word i use the most, but can't say it hear and until the past 2 years never said it at all.. in this order Nevermind, Whatever and Forget it are the words most used daily. James is a wonderful word for sure.
Yes I would change my blog and have thought about it. It can be done by just changing it on the header and I did that on Fourpawsetc. don't know what to change it to. I did not know the story of your name. I loved that movie.. i wish I could kneel on the floor, but not gonna happen
Hi Dear Blog Friend,
I have enjoyed Just Breathe for all the years reading it. The ups and downs we encourage and love each other, that is why I LOVE our blog friendships.
Thank you for sharing Just Breathe, I enjoyed hearing why you named your blog the name you did.
Oh my gosh that bathroom was full - so you babysit the dogs too. I would be happy thinking about James too.
Now I had never read how you named your blog - I loved finding out about how you named it - I loved that show too - but the breathing and you is just perfect.
I don't like cable bills either.
What a cutie pie in those pjs. Yay! Someone who agrees with my least favorite thing to pay.
I have thought about changing my blog name too but think I will stick with "photowannabe"
The name came from my insecurity of having others look at my photographs and perhaps not liking them. My cousin encouraged me to stick with it and I'm glad I did. Been doing it since 2008. The blog turned into my yearly journal which I then have had printed. Glad I stuck with it. I would have never met the wonderful people on blogs..like you!!
I don't like to pay any of the bills but I'm glad I have a home so the mortgage isn't too bad.
I believe I overwork the word Awesome.
I am trying to fill up my glass daily.
The rain clouds have parted and the sun is drying out the dampish weather. We do have some blustery wind which is knocking down more fall leaves..a never ending process to rake and dump in the green waste container...don't really want to do it today.
and now on to paying a few of those pesky bills!

Well I think James is about as special a word as I can think of. He is just the cutest little thing and I can understand how he would life anyone's spirit. Enjoyed reading about how you named your blog; I had wondered if it might have something to do with your breathing issues. It is so interesting to read how our titles reflect so much about who we are.
He's a cutie!
I loved that Drew Barrymore movie.
James is a cutie!
It's fun to read how people have come up with their blog names. James is a cutie and I understand how grands bring us so much joy. Hope the rest of your week is good.
I am so excited that you now get to babysit James.💕
Have fun babysitting.
I love that movie. It's one of the few I could watch over and over. Love the photos of james, and so cute the dogs laying by the bathtub.
Lovely post! I'm your new follower. May you follow me back?
Thanks and have a nice day!
My original blog name had my last name, because it started out for family. I changed that at some point, and then when I decided to go completely underground went with "Blogging Incognito." It's fourth incarnation, when I needed to change URL's from a prying ex-boyfriend became "BI Redux."
