For Tania Kitchin's Tell Me About Your Hobby In 8-20 Lines Of Rhyme Poetry Contest

_____________________________________________________________________

Besides my writing poetry, my hobbies now are few though in the past were many things that I liked to do - like bicycling, swimming, and playing ping pong too. But with most things physical, my body now is through. Current health conditions have me lying down or seated, which means my biggest hobby always gets repeated daily, and never is my love for it depleted. Oh, the many series in my life that I’ve completed! I do things on the internet but mostly it’s TV that I’m addicted to -maybe since the age of three! I love the many programs and movies that I see. Yes, watching the old boob tube is A-ok with me.

Andrea, I am amazed that you are so prolific. I also love how you write about so many different things. Whatever the inspiration is, it seems to be working well! We're trying to take care of our bodies since they are the vessels for our minds, but it isn't easy or without pain.

glad you've found a hobby you like given your current health situation. Sometimes I think my hubby's addicted to TV, especially sports. A lovely contest entry...and best wishes with it. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Yes, I am a TV addict. But at least I also write a lot and teach. Better than being drug addict. Haha. Right now I am trying to come up with five poems. Wish me luck!

I have very rare conditions the doctors can't solve but I do manage to get out several times a week to teach (sitting down) and driving my husband to doctors. I force myself to the gym once a week but I need to do it more! I do practice deep breathing. I've done acupuncture and lots of different things. Thanks for commenting and always being so sweet

I enjoy TV when there is something good one with my limited access to channels and movies. I really like to read, but don't get to the bookstore much anymore to purchase a book. I miss my nightly chapter or two in a new exciting book. Thanks for sharing with us about your hobbies and update on your health. I think there is a contest going on about hobby/ies. This reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara K

Yes this is for the hobby contest. Before VCR I was a huge fan of reading. But now so many books get made into movies, I just see the movies. We have thrift shops that sell paperbacks super cheap. Even a used book store. You should go buy a bunch . People having garage sales sell them too. Libraries sometimes sell old books. You should talk to your library not just check books out. I have two huge book cases . Half the books on them I have never read, so if we ever lose power for a length of time, I am ready to read!!
