I’ve decided I like hobbies. I’ve got a few of them even though I’ve never really thought of myself as a hobby person. I read fantasy books all the time. I web surf. I blog…ok that might be an addiction. I shoot pool when I can…although I’ve really slacked on that hobby. And I have at least one other hobby, I’m sure. I think my goal for the rest of this year is to indulge myself in at least one hobby activity a day. Preferrably more than one. Just think of all the benefits, it will enhance my calm, lower my frustration level and if I indulge in my more active hobby, possibly even help me get in shape a bit, although any active hobby I have does not happen often…I’ll have to work on that one. I indulged in a all of my hobbies yesterday, except pool, and am very relaxed today. Even if one of those hobbies kept me up until late, it was well worth it. Everyone should have a hobby.
Sigh, dreary, rainy day outside and yet I am in a not so bad mood….hobbies are very good for me.
:P
