Prompt: What do you enjoy most in your leisure time? 1/23/26

Live the year with thankfulness, gratitude, respect, patience, charity, and kindness; don’t forget to laugh and smile often, as they are infectious.

Shout-out: Happy 14th Birthday to our grandson, John Liam! You make the world a better place!

I enjoy many activities, such as writing, reading, blogging, cooking, and gardening. However, the one that brings me the greatest personal joy is playing my guitar. Although I consider myself a long-term intermediate player who enjoys adding vocals, I have experienced both enchantment and frustration over the years since I picked up my first guitar—believe it or not, in the summer of ’69. Bryan Adams may not know it, but what he has made a career out of is his song, which strikes a real personal chord with me and probably many others. I also pasted a John Denver video below that reminds me of my journey with the guitar. Enjoy!

It’s been 57 years since those days, and yet I still get a thrill every time I pluck the strings or work on a new song like it was just yesterday.

    Hi Dan! I just love reading these postings from you! I can answer this one. Besides spending quality time with my kids and grandkids, I really enjoy a quiet afternoon, when no one is home and I have a cup of tea and a New York Times (or any really) crossword to do. I find them so relaxing. Thanks and all my best to your family!

    1. I like those quiet spaces too, and enjoy doing my crossword, sudoku, or read in those moments.
