What are your hobbies?

If you are like me you work full time and have family or pets or both to look after. 😃

But what do you do to relax or have some quality time for yourself?

I like to write, read, walk, step class twice a week, movies.

I am looking forward to retirement in the next 4 years, hoping to stay healthy enough to enjoy some years there.

What do you like to do when you are able and feeling ok?

Pickle Ball (indoors) 2 times a week and oil painting 2 to 3 times a week. Just had my 3rd painting accepted into a juried show at a large art center. I paint for pleasure, no goal to sell anything (am a retired prof. photographer). Also volunteer with a non-profit education-oriented group, Home Tour coming up in Feb where we raise $$$ money for scholarships for women returning to college after an interruption (family, lack of money, etc).

Ima, they have pickleball at my gym! I should try it!

You inspired me now!

Toomuch I can tell your list is probably longer than that!

Where do you get all that energy?

Hope you like P-ball as much as I do. Can't do outdoor tennis anymore due to skin cancer. At 61 I'm one of the younger players (Florida ha). Told my bro in Houston to try it and county wouldn't let him, have to be 65 there :-(

I tried belly dancing which was interesting but not aerobic enough for me. I hate gym aerobic machines and too dyslexic for Zumba or dance aerobics (true).

I don't have a ton of free time but I love reading, gardening (which is impossible right now in WNY), running, yoga, and hanging out with my boys while they are still young enough to want me around. I also serve on the board of a local community service oriented non-profit organization where I live. Oh, and I just signed up for my first half marathon today (yikes!). I have 18 weeks to go from running 5 miles at a time to 13.1, wish me luck!

Video games and writing software. When the weather is better I like to ride my bicycle, garden, jog, and try to reinforce boxing/muay thai training from before I had UC.

My DW and I are outdoor enthusiasts, so we're always out in nature whenever life/time allows it. The mountains are an hour north of me, the ocean an hour south of me, and there are many lakes and rivers all around. This time a years it's xcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and winter hiking up the mountains. In the summer we're into backpacking, camping, fishing, kayaking, etc.

Love gardening, between her flowers and the many garden beds, there isn't a lot of grass left in our yard to mow lol.

I am so blown away right now by this thread, its so cool the things we all can do when we are feeling well! We are like superhuman.

i think we just really try to live when we are able.

I have to read Girl on a Train, but I am reading Goldfinch now! Really good.

Sherri, the toilet part alone would do me in!

I don't need a "hobby" i.e., distraction, from what is life itself. I enjoy breathing, walking, cooking, eating, digestion, peeing and the miracle end product. It's all good.

I paint a lot, I'm an abstract artist, however, I am still struggling with a 'bug' I caught almost three weeks ago and so I haven't been able to do much recently, but I do enjoy what I do and selling my work is very rewarding.

When I am not painting I always have my nose in a book, I love reading, which is a good thing when I wake up in the early hours, as I always have my kindle handy. I have three dogs all rescued, two I brought over from the Middle East and one turned up on my doorstep in CR, and so we enjoy walking a lot with the dogs on the mountain where I live.

Aww thanks, it took me a while to realise you meant me lol!
