Those are really great ideas. They all sound very interesting. I'll

go down the list of things you mentioned to see what would work best

for me. All I know is I have to get out of this house. Money is

tight for me as well so I am testing for another contractor position

with a transcription company hoping it will not be as demanding as

the last one and work out for me part-time. I can then be able to

fund some of the things I would like to do.. Student loans have to

be paid down before I can take any classes towards the higher degree

but I love the tai chi idea. I researched it and it's $189 for I

think 6 lessons at a continuing education course. I frequent the

continuing ed classes looking for hobbies. But they can get a little

too pricey for me. Something else had to be paid at the time. Maybe

I can catch the next set of sessions. I think tai chi would be

gentle enough to do. However, finally found a swimming pool I can go

to near me. So will check that out tomorrow.

Also, I would like to teach adult education/GED courses. I don't

think the adults would mind me limping through the lessons. I need

to research how to get started with that. I love children and would

love to tutor children but don't think I am ready for that yet. I

can sometimes be around kids without thinking of my daughter and

sometimes it's too difficult still -- but better than a year ago.

However, volunteering at the literacy council sounds like an

excellent idea, . That might work out for me and be fulfilling

as well. Actually, they are all great ideas. I am happy to see you

guys are staying busy doing things you love as well. I think staying

active doing what you love is the key to longevity actually.

Thanks Kathe and . Talk to you soon.
