Rainy Note Too ~Re: Talent Show - Tip of the Day

[Guest guest]

Hey, I LIKE this one! I have lots of fun hobbies or obsessions. To make this

tip more fun, why don't we all tell each other our favorite hobbies. I know

we do that in our intro's but time passes and memories fade. Mine has!

Things I like to do:

~Chat with all of you, of course!

~Write poetry and essays, and am currently working on a book. We'll see how

long THAT lasts! Writing has been my main passion for 20 years this year,

before that I just carried my pen and paper around not knowing what to do

with it. I was introduced to writing poetry in the 6th grade and helped in

the 8th grade on what to do with it.

~Genealogy - my family history - VERY addictive!

~Watch movies of all kinds

~Read - Books like those of le Steel & Higgins . Books on

writing, and genealogy. Writing and genealogy magazines & let's not forget

Arthritis Today. Emails! (hehe)

~Write letters to pen pals overseas.

~I love to organize, strange, I know.

~The best stress reliever for me is playing with my kitty, Isabella, on a

daily basis.

~I have more that I can't think of at the moment.

Talent Show

If stress has you boxed in and strung out, try taking a little artistic

license.

A creative hobby can be an effective method of stress reduction. You don't

even have to be good at the hobby. Just find something you enjoy doing,

whether it's writing stories, molding clay figures, or taking still-life

photos, and schedule weekly quiet time to devote to your craft.

RealAge Benefit: Actively patrolling your health can make your RealAge as

much as 12 years younger.
