On Friday, the Elders Quorum hosted a Show and Tell as a way for us to get to know each other better. They also had a waffle bar (good thing it wasn't pancakes ...).
Not everyone shared, but several brothers did. Among them, one man talked about his love of HAM radio, another shared a collection of his pop art, and another passed around different products that he designed through various jobs (mostly sports equipment). I considered different things that I could share that I enjoy: I could bring a crochet hook, my current set of egg beaters, or maybe my running shoes to talk about. Instead, decided on something that in many ways is the most personal of all: my writing.
I don't do a lot of creative writing, certainly not as much as I should, but what I do write, I am proud of. The various short stories that I've finished are unique and have a part of me in them (as corny as that sounds). I enjoy writing and I really like the short story format.
I brought the classic standby to share, "Shoes: a Secret Life." Not everyone got a chance to read it, but several of those that did, commented that they really enjoyed it and thought that I had a knack for writing. And while I generally don't write for anyone other than me, it's still nice to hear that something you create has an impact.
All in all, it was a good evening.
