Share Your World 2015 Week #52

This is my last post linking to Share Your World 2015 Week #52.  Cee has thrown out some interesting questions and a sentence completion for this blog hop.  As you read how I've responded, think about how you might have answered these.  As you enter into 2016, maybe you will want to join a blog hop such as this one, assuming you have a blog.  Cee posts her Share Your World questions each Monday and gives us a week to link up.  My responses are in bold print.

1.  Tell how you are feeling today, in the form of a weather report.  (For example, partly cloudy, sunny with a chance of showers, etc.) My weather report would certainly be sunny with a chance of clouds and rain due to some personal concerns which haven't been answered yet.

2.  What is most memorable about your high school years?  My senior year would be my most memorable year because it was that year that I learned I would be the first in our family to attend college.  However, as it turned out, I only attended a little over a couple of years before getting married. 

3.  Have you ever owned a rock, pet rock, or gem that is not jewelry?  I began looking for agates in the gravel on our lane, and in the creek bed that ran through our property when I was eight years old.  Although I've not had a "pet rock," I've had pails filled with agates and other rocks at different times in my life.  Looking at gemstones in museums is something I enjoy, although don't do too often.

4.  Complete this sentence:  I like watching clouds, their different formations, and the speed at which they travel and change.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?  Please see my newest post of Ten Things of Thankful I wrote this weekend.  It lists things for which I was grateful last week.  This week is kind of a week of uncertainty, so I am hoping to stay calm and take things as they come. . . come what may.  Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to beginning a new year!
