Take it easy like in being inert? With three girls 3-1-1, always something to do. Being mom is hard work.

Yes. Throughout the course of my life (just turned 37 this past December 23) I've lived in mediocre, small, suitable, or very big places to live. I'm quite adaptable. smile

The idea sounds great, but more of a non-fiction reader than a fiction reader and fiction is the genre that makes or breaks most bookstores. So, unfortunately, no. (Plus, most successful bookstores now are more than just bookstores now, i.e. they are coffee shops, etc.)

WYE sell everything to just roam about at your heart's desire, working just enough and long enough to pay your way to the next destination? I.e., give up materialism and consumerism?

Did that, unintentionally, in the Philippines. Diving off Grande Island in Subic Bay and spotted a Hammerhead ahead below me. Surprisingly not scared but got out of the water sooner than I was planning to.

If I had the talent or patience, I would. These days I can only manage journaling about my father's dementia.

I think your journal about your father would make for an excellent, inspiring, and emotional book.

Yes! In college I studied in the English Education Department for 1.5 years but ended up back in the English; Creative Writing Department. I shadowed a teacher for a semester in the Special Ed. Department of a local high school. I had an amazing experience. I used to want to be a teacher for the majority of my life. Anyway, yes, especially if the community was in desperate need.

Awesome! Same here. The porch was made into a small getaway with plants, hanging flowers, a couple chairs and a mini hidden bookshelf. It's great to go there at night and turn on the lights that are wrapped around the balcony. I also have a couple gardens, one is a vegetable garden. And a couple plants and flowers in my room!

Absolutely! I used to wall climb. And climb/hop the huge rocks at the beach. I love that kind of stuff.

I would love to but with only a bachelor's in my field, doubt I would be considered qualified. I also have a Master of Library & Information Science, though, which I guess could help.

My language learning skills have declined, but that's one I might consider.

Sure, although I remember as a teen I very much wanted to go to the meet n' greets for the N SYNC concerts I went to and now as a 37 year old the appeal has kind of worn off.
