The topic for the final day of Special Interest week is examples of positivity in my life, derived from my special interests. Writing out the draft for this post was a little overwhelming. I might well do better to celebrate positivity more often.
In the introductory post, I mentioned a confidence in learning new things. “I’ll probably figure that out” has mostly turned out to be true. It is not at all that difficult to change brake pads on bicycle disc brakes, it turns out. Next I need to change gear cables on my son’s old racer, which will probably cost a bit of cussing and frustration. It will turn out fine in the end, I am sure.
Other examples:
I am also interested in dog training. My last dog was a Lot of Dog, which led me to meet many nice people on Instagram. I had 3 and a half years in that wonderful community.
My fitness fascination enabled me to lose a great deal of weight a few years ago, and also made it possible for me to do 170 kg 5x5 a few weeks ago.
So many cool role playing moments from my story affinity, and many exiting hours spent in Hogwarts, Middle Earth, the Seven Kingdoms, the Americas of the Gods, and the far reaches of space and time.
