Prompt: "What will you never take for granted again once we are no longer under 'Stay At Home' orders?"

I try to never take anything for granted. I figured out a long time ago that life is simply too unpredictable to take anything for granted. One thing I certainly look forward to is getting back to church. I miss my church group. Of course I have chapel here to keep me busy but I still miss my home church. As far as taking anything for granted though, my life has been anything but predictable. So I take nothing for granted with the possible exception of air.



Prompt: "What was your childhood like? Did you grow up around books or was literature something you discovered on your own?"

My childhood was rough in some ways and good in others. I guess all-in-all it was much like that of others. Literature was not a big deal in my early years. I guess that is why it was such a joy to me when my teacher began to teach us the alphabet and the sounds different letters made. The first word I ever read on my own was "go" and I have been going since. I was an avid reader and read nearly everything. My favorite in childhood were biographies and mysteries. I was particularly drawn to the "Hardy Boys Mysteries and Nancy Drew" mysteries although I now remember none of the cases. I never read the same book twice if I could help it. I never did like reruns unless I hadn't read or seen them in years.

"Prompt: What projects did you start this year? Which ones did you finish?"

I am not a big project person. I am working on one project that I started during this quarantine. I am writing letters to everybody on Snail Mail Forum whose addresses I have. I have written more than 30 letters.
