Becoming a Creative later in life has been the most amazing gift. And when the pandemic lockdown came, I started writing a poem every day to express my feelings and observations. At about the same time, I began taking photos of my neighborhood on my daily walks and posting them online. Both practices have been so wonderful that I've kept them up. Creative practices have endless variety, endless things to learn and try, so much satisfaction to be had in the doing. Marrying the Muse was one of the best choices I ever made.
