While scanning over the online news headlines, I follow
the ones I want to know more about, then drift along to
other subjects that come to mind- as many web surfers
do. I too, can stay on the computer for hours if I don't
MAKE myself take a break from it and do a bit of cooking
and cleaning. Much of what I find interesting I then share
it with my friends and in our email newsletters.
the flow and rhyme bring peace to my mind. Sometimes
I jot down a poem or story myself, then file it away until
I get brave enough to allow someone to read it.
Poetry seems to come more often when I am at the
extreme ends of my emotions... when I feel sad or low,
or when I feel happy and uplifted.
I enjoy reading clean jokes,
wise quotes, uplifting articles and
an occasional book (that is non-fiction).
I have a couple friends who pass magazines
on to me. I enjoy such as "home, nature, family,
health, gardening and/or cooking" type
magazines. While reading them, I usually
clip out the recipes which sound yummy to
me. It may be a while before I can get around
to trying some of them, but once one has
proven to be good, I add it to my cookbook
and share the new ones with friends who
also enjoy cooking and are glad to have a new recipe.
Those magazines also keep me company
when I have waiting time at an appointment
(which can happen often). After removing
any mailing address labels beforehand
(and having not done any clipping from them yet)
they are recycled again when I pass them along
to other patients trying to wait patiently.
