I'd like to try some different things, too, but I'm at a loss where to find them. The jazz singing sounds wonderful, but where do I find somewhere to try that. I live in a small (60,000) town where creative opportunities of a more unique kind are hard to find.

ECD music though is a joy. Cooking is creative for me and I've decided that in our retirement, we will have more space and grow more of our own food. Gardening satisfies one's soul in so many ways. It is also one of the most disruptive technologies that exists. I would like to improve my writing skills and produce a short story that I'm not scared or embarrassed to share with the world. c d moultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899545521206329219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8645848793742456762021-12-30T12:24:55.021-05:002021-12-30T12:24:55.021-05:00Lucy, doing what I like to do is my joy but my rea...Lucy, doing what I like to do is my joy but my reading of the piece was asking if their was something new that could be added for the upcoming year, which is what prompted the "Eeyore" response.

Believe me, I am fine with the things I do.
