Word Games
I've just come from a session of playing board games with a group. I chose Scatergories, a word game, over number games. I was one of a group of three and I thought we had great fun together. When we compared our answers, we laughed a great deal.
The thing that surprises me is that when I was supposed to name a hobby that started with W, the other two expected me to say WRITING, and I never thought of it myself. When they told me that they thought I would say, "writing," I was surprised that I would miss something like writing which is so much a part of me.
The only thing I can come up to explain that oversight is that I don't really think of writing as a hobby, for me. It is a way of life. I write. It's who I am, --a writer.

A pen, pencil, notebook, --those are the things that will keep this hobby going well. But you and I, we write because if we don't, it's too hard to sort out the thoughts. We are writers. Now, oil painting, that's a much more expensive hobby!

Interesting! A few weeks ago I started a Bible study group and we had to say a little about ourselves, and what some of our hobbies are. I named a hobby, but being a little on the shy side in new situations, I drew a blank. My friend saved me and announced "journaling," to the group. It never crossed my mind that it was a hobby.
