My third blog entry today, but I just wanted to take a moment (while I remember) to thank all of you who responded to my post about my recent depression. I really appreciate the helpful ideas, as well as the supportive and the “I wish I lived closer” comments. It meant a lot from me to hear from so many of you, especially those who typically lurk. 😉
I looked into a membership to the YMCA and found that they are much more expensive that I thought they would be. While their hours are extensive and would accommodate my work schedule, the only class that really interested me (Adult Dance) is not being offered during this session. With a joiner fee of $120 and $88 a month for me and Terry both to join, it just seemed like too much when I’m not interested enough in the classes. So, that idea is on hold for now. I need to check whether or not the outdoor tennis courts are available for use by non-members and lit during the evening hours, as that’s what Terry and I are the most interested in pursuing.
Your other ideas are being considered. My closest LNS may have some sort of stitching group, but their hours don’t run very late, unless they have an unadvertised stitching night. I will have to call and check into it.
Other than that, I am still mulling over some of the other ideas which were pitched and will let you know if I decide to pursue anything specific.
Thanks again, everyone! 😀
So glad you’ve had such a supportive response, Jenna!
Stitching bloggers are wonderful, aren’t they!!! Always ready for some support or friendly advise. Sorry to hear the old black dog is hanging around. You have had some great ideas to help you through this time. Take care, and be kind to yourself {{{{HUGS}}}}.
If your LNS doesn’t have a stitching night… maybe One Star’s Light might consider having one? It would be good for your business too.
So glad you’re posting! I like to read more than post, *chuckle.
Thank you for your kind thoughts and comments. 🙂 I hope you are feeling better. Been thinking a lot about you! (hugs)
I like Outi’s idea. You may be able to talk a local place like your library or community center into letting you hold it there.
