Shanti: Yes, definitely the time of year to enjoy nature. I can’t speak to your “hormi-ness”, whatever works for you… lol!

Katie: Glad you’re expressing your creativity! Hope to see you soon.

Well…Hello…Lori!!! I lift you up to Goddess for your well-chosen words and your cut-to-the-chase comments about “fun”. With the autumn weather enticing me more and more to be outside, I have been following Mother Earth’s call–primarily through bicycling and gentle hiking (all locally).
Yes, KNOW what feels good and – with harm to no one – DO it. MAKE fun a top priority. Fun is therapeutic with its release of all of those feel-good hormones. Hmmm, maybe having fun makes me “hormy”?
So, thanks for the call to my Fun Side! Shanti

Lori Lu,

I so hear you. I’m trying to find my passion, and it looks like it overwhelmingly is landing on knitting and yarn-type things. I love to create. Thanks for sharing your musings again! I’ll write more later…Lub kd

Denise: I think I’ve slogged thru Confederacy twice! Tried to give it another shot, the funniest thing is the cover. You’re right about the mood – when I first read Rice’s Interview with the Vampire, I lasted about two chapters. Tried again in a year or so and couldn’t put it down. There are times that we just don’t resonate with the story, and later will. Which is another lesson – what is fun can change!

Nancy: Hi, yes, this one is Lori’s, thank you for adding a little more to your reading list!

How do you feel about Armistad Maupin’s novels? (I love them). I can’t remember whether I forced myself through The World According to Garp (leaning towards that one) or A Confederacy of Dunces. People kept telling me it just gets better. I finally closed the last page of both of them and didn’t think so. Now if I hate a book, I move on. Or wait and go back in several months (sometimes it’s just a mood – not with John Irving though, I just don’t like his writing).

You are absolutely right about not letting others determine what is fun for you. Fun is highly personal and is only fun if you enjoy yourself.

Ok–should have read further. Amanda does not take Africna drumming classes or go off on motorcycles to music festivals. She’s rearing twin boys in New York.
Lori: You’re lucky you’re not a teacher–wouldn’t believe the stuff I have to read.

I couldn’t agree more about ” It’s our responsibility to take care of ourselves, and give ourselves what we need to feed our passions and our souls”. And besides, no one else really wants the job!
