What I enjoy doing
I enjoy writing stories
When it comes to writing, I love everything about it. Being able to come up with a story and finding those parts that really draw you in. When I am writing a story, if it draws me in, most likely it will do the same for my readers. I have created a novel called Calling heaven. I am also writing short stories about memories. This is a gift for my mom. She told me that the memories of my father bring him closer to her. So, that is what I am doing.
Walking through the woods
I really enjoy a good walk, walking through the woods or anywhere has always helped me think. This is where I get most of my ideas, I believe it is because of my mind and being calm. I just let my imagination go and soon I am coming up with ideas. I always bring a pad of paper and a pen when I walk. This way when I am having these ideas I can write them down. Some times a good walk just feels good.
Weight Lifting
I have always enjoyed weightlifting and have since I was in high school. After high school I was approached by a friend of mine and asked if I wanted to join the strongman competition. Agreeing I was able to flip cars, toss barrels of beer, I wouldn't recommend this makes the beer taste funny. The best day I had was when my father came out to watch me pull 2 semis 90 feet. I pulled them in 34.5 seconds. It was a great day!

Cooking is art
When I first started cooking I followed directions to a T. Sometimes the meal would turn out really good, other times not at all. So, I decided to experiment with my cooking. I would take two or three recipes and combine them. I soon found that if it looked horrible but smelt great it tasted awesome. However, if it looked great and smelt great, it tasted horrible. Finding my way around spices, I soon taught myself what tastes good and what needs a little work. I have been cooking for the past 25 years and don't really have it down yet. However, I have several meals that I can make that taste really good. Or, at least I have no complaints yet.
