Looking Back on 2020

If there ever was a year to be happy to say good-bye to, 2020 is it. Before we say  a final goodbye to the old year, let's take a look at what were, according to you the readers, as evidenced by your page views, my top 10 writing posts of 2020.

Now counting down. ~till next time, Helen

 


  

  10.  A Friend Lost, A New Friend Gained 




    9.  Leave-Taking, a battle looms and an enemy resurfaces  





    8.  Turn's End - First Dance  




   

   7.  Fog Attacks




   6.  The Sentry. A poem on the cost of duty:
   A wreath laid, a solitary bagpiper atop a hill,
   a line of helmets atop empty boots.



    5.  Vision in the Bowl



 4.  Consolation and Hope at the Kapuna Tree 

 

 


 

   3.  Turn's End Celebration (The Men)

C is for Crafts #mfrwauthor


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Welcome to Week 14 of the MFRW 52-week challenge. The topic is "Hobbies Outside of Reading." I'm also doing the A-Z in April challenge and decided to kill two birds with one stone. The original title for the post was "Something other than reading? What's that?" But it was changed to reflect the alphabetic focus of the April challenge.
My first thought on activities outside of reading was "you mean there are hobbies outside of reading?" To be immediately followed by writing. But that would imply writing is a hobby, not a profession or a business.

I've dabbled in various types of handcrafts over the years. Time restrictions and arthritis have reduced the amount of time devoted to them as has the amount of time, effort, and energy given to my role as a caregiver.

Instead of repeating the information as to the types of hobbies, feel free to visit the earlier post. And as a teaser, a few samples of my work.
