OMG! For past 3 weeks I have been going through the process to get my new blog site up and running, and hope I am finally there. It should not look any different to my readers and should be accessed by same online address, but it has been a real hassle! Go Daddy folks are very helpful and patient, but still — the process has been long. So I did not write on last week’s Community Roundtable issue; hope to “get-er-done” this week! For those folks who were wondering what I was going to do with my time since I retired 12/31/12, here is what I’m up to. Today is my first meditation group meeting. On Tuesdays I do yoga with a small group and later in evening, when my husband gets off work, we attend our group for the “Course in Miracles” study. I am still a reader in my Christian Science Society, study the weekly lesson, and select hymns each week for church service (and meet on the 2nd & 4th Weds evening of each month for service). I am expanding my study of Christian Science as I had intended to do after retiring, to enhance my prayerful treatments. I am a contributing writer to the weekly (Friday) Community Roundtable discussion in the Galesburg Register-Mail, and am trying to blog at least once a week on a variety of topics. I am also writing short stories, poetry, and am working on ideas for children’s books. I have just begun writing my memoirs and plan to juggle that writing with fiction writing; hoping to start my first novel this fall. I also begin this month serving my elected position as Copley Township Clerk (one Saturday morning meeting per month). I plan to entertain my 8 year-old grandson most of the summer, and hope to get at least a couple of fun, educational mini-trips in, before school starts back up for him. There’s boy scout day camp for a week in July, and plan to get down to the fishing hole at least weekly this summer. I have a 4 month-old german-shepherd puppy, that I am trying to train. That’s challenging! We also have 3 cats and 8 Bard-rock chicks. I have many areas of study that I lightly juggle, and many things I want to learn to do. I plan to join the previous Knox Co, state retirees for lunch once a month. We have a vegetable garden to tend. Thank God I’m not a person who needs to have a clean house, or I’d never get anything done, but that. I have an apple plaque, hanging in my kitchen that reads: “An immaculate house is the sign of a mis-spent life”. So true, in my book! I’d rather be exploring the barn or our five acres with my grandson than cleaning the house, although we do try to pick things up enough to have dinner guests once or twice a month! My path for now is to allow and follow my creativity! Follow your dreams is my motto and advise to all……..thanks for following my blog…..y’all. Love and Light and Peace to All. Trish Forsyth Voss
