It's just been too hot and steamy recently, but this will be my go-to activity with fall approaching. <br /><br />Susan, I will look for a class... with schools starting up now, there should be some starting. I've always been reluctant to commit to anything scheduled, but I think I need to... rather than just drift. <br /><br />Everyone: thank you so much for your interest!judy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-48261982638880311452011-08-09T06:32:15.325-07:002011-08-09T06:32:15.325-07:00ps.

I can't imagine being retired and I LOVE my new part time postal clerk job ???Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-66118715457982097582011-08-09T06:28:42.368-07:002011-08-09T06:28:42.368-07:00What about taking a course ? an art class of some ...What about taking a course ? an art class of some sort ? Why not take a photo course. I know you've mentioned your camera - you'd meet people with like interests, learn about your camera, take more photos etc ... it would get you out walking in search of great light, beautiful scenery, flowers etc... it gets me out (& Missy D).<br /><br />or volunteering somewhere ?? If you want an excellent reason to love walking adopt a dog ??<br /><br />And I think you're right about a blog having a focus. There are sooooo many blogs now ... I think successful blogging is about finding your voice, your point of view, your passion and having that speak consistently on your blog. <br />Hope this is helpful ;-) xo SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101571539062052986.post-58638705869512863112011-08-09T06:28:06.163-07:002011-08-09T06:28:06.163-07:00Maybe walking to start?
