For me it is church activities, gardening, golf with my DH and friends. I volunteered for a local organization for 2 years and now looking for another one to do something new.
|
My main other activity is hula dancing. I've been going to class for five years now. There is so much to learn about authentic hula. The teacher is Hawaiian (from Maui) and is a very good teacher. We all love her. The people in the group are the nicest people I have ever met. We do free dance performances at the senior centers, churches, and other locations. I have learned some of the language. We are all over 65 and the older dancers are in their mid-80's. Can you tell I am passionate about it? Aloha!

May I tell you how this topic convicted me?! I sat for several minutes and thought about how I've let myself become quiet and isolated over the past 5 years. I hurt so much of the time that I've let that be an excuse to not participate any more.
But I'm going to change that in 2014!!! Water aerobics 3x a week and editing the guild newsletter once a month just won't do it for me any more. I promise myself I will find a new interest where I can give back and I will do it with passion! Thank you, thank you for mentioning that I need to get the fires lighted again! Jan in VA Me too Jan! |
God bless you Rodney. Keeping busy seems to keep the mind from thinking negatively. Keep up the good volunteer work, your spirits, and prayers go up for you and your family.
