I'm looking for some new hobbies to keep my mind and body busy! Any suggestions?

Seriously, it is awesome. I should learn how to knit some day ... and I'm a guy.

As a matter of fact ...

But anyway, these days I fight orcs to protect the wood elves. But I'm getting back into writing and ... I think I might take up knitting. I would love to get back into the gym and hangout in the weight room for 1 hour every days as well.

Puzzles? I bought a bunch at the dollar store and they were addictive.

When I'm not depressed, I quilt and draw. I,also, read quite a bit.

Drawing keeps me busy a lot. You don't even have to be good at it. It's fun regardless. And 'good' is all an opinion, anyway.

Writing, too.

I like buying those crafting kits. Like to make bracelets and stuff. Helps you find something that might hold your interest.

I am a read-a-holic. Always have a book handy.

other things...

I make jewelry. Very rewarding.

I used to knit, but ran out of people to give things to. Not much use for sweaters and scarves in Florida.

Used to crochet too. Stopped for the same reason I quit knitting.

Scarpbooking - fun and a great way to save memories.

Drawing, I ain't any good at it, but enjoy it.

Ride the horses.

Puttering in the yard. I just finished putting in a rose garden. Next project is a veggie garden. I even enjoy mowing!

Does cuddling with the cats and dogs count? Used to play with the dogs, but they are both senior citizens. Their favorite "activity" now is sitting and letting me pet them.

Used to do ceramics. Kind of lost interest in it.
Thanks for this!

I draw, write, and contribute content and articles to a fan forum. Pretty cheap hobbies and I enjoy them. I think a lot of it depends on what your interests are. Sometimes even reading is a great hobby.
Thanks for this!

Hi. Mostly I like to read. Get on PC. Work my job. Do all the ordinary chores of life. Don't really have any hobbies.
Thanks for this!
