food was once our hobby but now that is gone and we must find new ways to occupy our time and minds. So what if any hobbies do you currently have? It can be anything from arts and crafts to exercising. Anything you can think of. Share pictures if you like. My hobbies are collecting comics and vintage toys but the main thing I am focused on is my art. I draw, write, sculpt and even sew. Currently I am working on self publishing my own graphic novel.

Exercise has always been a hobby, but now I can push myself further and further than I could. I always wanted to be able to, but physically couldn't do all I wanted to do.

I love cycling..

Always wanted to be a runner and could never run more than 3-5 minutes at a time, now I can run almost 2 miles without stopping.

I want to be a triathlete..

I love crossfit, weight lifting..

I love extreme sports.

Taking a minute to boast here!! This was September.. running 2 miles at a time.. and now I'm up to 5-6 miles at a time, and completed a half marathon where I didn't stop running for 10.5 miles.. AHAH!

Well - I have always had a lot of hobbies. I think I will enjoy them much more now.

I still enjoy cooking - lots of people to cook for in my family so I get my little bit and it's nice. I just have one child (out of 7) at home - the other hungry young adults are there pretty often for some home cooking too. two college students who are home part of the year.

We like to hike, and I am excited to be physically able to do longer hikes at some of the parks we love. The diabetes sidelined me for a couple of years and I could only do shorter hikes. I miss the rambles.

I quilt, sew and crochet, and I am looking forward to going back to making some of my own clothes when I get to maintenance.

I have a rose garden that has not been as well tended as I would like. This year is shaping up differently because I now have the energy to devote to it.

I love to sing and play the flute. I want to learn to play piano. My son has tried and tried to teach me, and I am just going to keep trying.

I recently wrote a short novella for a fanfiction site, and it was well received, I believe I would enjoy doing more of that.

I am hoping to get back home to Michigan next winter for snowshoeing and skiing, as it has been YEARS since I have done that, and looking forward to July for swimming and beach time. (beach time - that's a laudable hobby, yes?)

I also love shooting - and archery. I can only really do that to my liking when I am home on the farm, but it is enjoyable. We shoot rifles in the winter and archery when I visit in the summer. I only see out of one eye, really, and I think it gives me an advantage. I'm a crack shot if I do say so myself.

I plan on getting back to bicycling and possible competition shooting sports again.

And of course spending quality time with the G-kids.

I used enjoy being outside a lot, and looking forward to having the energy again to do these things.

GO BLUE! :-)

I read, exercise, learn German with an AP and look for healthy, tasty recipes to cook.
