What I do for fun? Ok...I'll give it a go.
Well that's changed an aufull lot since my accident but I'll give this my best shot!
1. Walking/mini hiking with my dog. I'm in love with my animals
2. i love to be up in the mountains...I'm not far from Yosemite. I used to be an avid hiker. I can't do this anymore but realized I can sit in nature and still enjoy the beauty of it and hey at least I'm there!
3. I love to write
4. I love to make others laugh
5. I volunteer at the American Cancer Society
6. I still do some Graphic Design, some paid and some for friends and I love that. I really enjoy doing logos. Need a business card? let me know.
7. I love to sing although I'm off key a lot
8. I love to travel. This is pretty hard since my accident but I managed to go around the world. Did a lot on ships. Easier to travel that way for me.
9. I love to help people. It gets me outside of myself
10. On light pain days I'll be outside somewhere in the redwoods.
11. I love hunting on ebay but have to be careful
Lately I love to dream about having a surgery outcome where I have more quality of life and can have less days in bed and less meds. Sometimes holding on to my dreams and hopes are the best I can do. Sometimes holding on to my sanity is the best I can do too.
I've enjoyed reading everyone's posts about what you like to do.
Terry Allen Blackburn...i'm a watch collector too....Old Tags, Roger Dubois and more. It's addicting and can be pricey. I look on Ebay....and use the "all over the world" option. I love finding outdated watches that are impossible to find.
