Sports - Never was really into this. Today, forget the pro and collegiate. High school, middle school, and little leagues can really rock, though.

Movies - rarely want to go now. Went with family to see John Wick 4. Was bored. Started looking for comms in movie to entertain myself. Opted out of the new Guardians. Family went. I happily stayed home. Old movies from the 40s and 50s hold more appeal. Didn't even notice there was a writer's strike.

Music - Used to love it. Now, I prefer the quiet.

People - deep connections do not happen outside of my husband, son, brother, and sister. Have become a recluse. Was never like this before. A chasm has opened up between me and others. Learning to rely on myself and trust my own counsel and judgment. Most experts are not wanted or needed. Unless the person has hands-on experience i.e. farming, gardening, preserving, I ignore.

I have no earthly heroes. Drawing closer to Jesus.

Reading, writing, and teaching are my joys. Redesigning my world to be intensly simple.
