Is there a thread on her discussing hobbies? I need some ideas. I spent some time yesterday thinking about what hobbies id want to take up, in additon to working out more. Ideally, id like something where i can meet other people my age (40ish).
No, I just mention them in various threads from time to time. Working out is great and has helped me immensely.
As for me, I took up one again that was a favorite of mine back in childhood - and it really has helped me. In the darkest of my times during all this, I happened to be in a store that sold model airplanes and ships. I think I sat there for an hour or so just looking at them...it just sort of allowed me a brief escape of everything. I think I looked at everyone over and over, maybe reminiscing. Now, mind you, I've been around aviation for a good portion of my life and airplanes have always fascinated me. So I just picked one up. After the kids went to sleep I opened it and started...I found that for that time, my thoughts didn't stray to my troubles. I was hooked again and still build them, but I have branched out to the wooden ships, too. I have other hobbies - golf, fishing, etc.
What I'm getting at is find something that suits you and allows you to get lost, so-to-speak. For some it's painting. Others, woodworking. Or, go back to your childhood - you'd be amazed.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
