Now that I'm retired, I've found time to express my creative side. I am learning how to draw and do arts and crafts from a local art teacher. I sew quilts and crochet blankets for a charitable organization that brings the blankets to children who are in a difficult spot. Often they are seriously ill and in hospital. The blankets are called "comfort blankets" and give the children a safe space to cuddle. My favorite pastimes are reading (about 5 in a month!) and jogging (3x 5 kilometers per week).
