Think about the hobbies that you enjoy and consider which one you really enjoy and like to do the most often. Is there something that you do that you can really say that you are enjoying life to the fullest when you are doing it? What is it? My favorite thing to do in the whole world is to go horseback riding. I love the time that I spend with my horse and I enjoy the time that I am riding in the woods and stuff. I can say that the time I am riding that I am truly relaxed and enjoying life to the fullest! What makes you relax and enjoy life?

My hobby isn't exactly the extreme type, or even the sporty for that matter. It's creating 3d art from scratch. My basic process is acquire inspiration, block it out on a piece of paper, and create it digitally. I enjoy it when I land to what I plan initially but sometimes I stray away from the original idea, which some say it's okay, but for me, the original idea is still the whole essence of the creation.

That is very interesting! I hadn't heard anyone really say anything about the arts and crafts field. It is nice to hear that your projects do turn out as planned at times.

I have many interests and do many things that help me enjoy life to the fullest. I love yard sales and going to thrift stores. I collect costume jewelry. I love grab bags of costume jewelry. Some I buy from ebay. I enjoy doing things on line. It helps me relax. That includes, but is not limitted to, mylot. I love television. I have digital cable and the five premium channels. I have my favorite programs and love a good movie. I love art openings and going out to hear live music. I LOVE having a massage, pedicure or haircut. Because any of these three cost a few dollars, I can not enjoy them often. But when I do ...... I especially love having a massage. And how could I forget food. Unfortunately for me, I love to eat. And I happen to live next door to a wonderful organics supermarket. Next door.... So I am there almost daily, sampling and buying. And eventually eating. I spend way too much money on food. All that I have mentioned makes life more enjoyable. Which ones do I do more often? I eat, watch television and play on my computer sometimes all at the same time.

I do love life and I have a lot of fun. My motto is "Life is uncertain: eat dessert first". I just finished eating. I am watching television and playing on my computer. I am going to Colorado the end of July to see a girlhood friend. We have tickets to see ABBA in an outdoor mountain setting. And I will be in Los Angeles in September for the AARP Convention. I have signed up for a meet and greet at LA Sound Stage and an ice cream social on The Nokia Plaza. My life has been difficult and challenging but I still love life with a passion and I celebrate myself and my life every moment and every day.

My top hobby is traveling to different countries. I like to collect things to do with my travel hobby like my costume dolls from around the world, postcards and currency. I am very keen on reading books and writing. I like to go on countryside walks and along the coastline. I love spending time with my two dogs and my three children. Life sounds fantastic for you with your horse.

It would be nice to travel a lot too but I would have to leave my horse and I really don't want to do that. I guess I will stay put. LOL! I love to walk our dog too.

I enjoy almost all that makes me happy in life. i enjoy attending birthday parties, fiestas and any happy occasions. I enjoy watching nice movies on our DVD or just plain watching our favorite tv programs with my husband and my daughter if she's here for a vacation. I enjoy visiting my parents and my sisters and nieces and nephews. To sum it all, i enjoy what life has to offer me each day of my life.

Hello Carolcash. About the hobbies well I still do kite flying and of course vegetable gardening to augment income. We from the far east eat a lot of vegetables everyday and it is obvious to produce our own in our backyard to get away with chemically grown vegetables.I am just pondering that we only exert 10% of our brain to thinking so probably we spend another 10% for hobbies. Those things that we enjoy with friends during childhood must be revived now and I believe that it will help to relieve stress especially if we do it together with our families. That's one way to enjoy life.

It is amazing how much of our brain sits idle most of the time. Think of what we could accomplish if we used the entire brain.

I believe I am a very simple person. I don't like outdoors when there is no need to go out. Well, what makes me relax and enjoy life? My answer to that question is, just being with my kids, take care of them, hug and kiss them, and play with them. Just being with them makes my life complete and enjoy life to the fullest.

It is nice to be that connected to your children. I enjoy being with mine too, but I also enjoy time away from them.

This is not a hobby but it's something that makes me enjoy life. It's being a mother! I am a dreamer and i can vividly remember each of them. The dream of becoming a mother was one of my favorite dreams and i often dreamed about it since i was in high school. It was not my ambition but it was my fear. I feared of not being able to bear a child. So when i had my baby, it was the happiest day of my life. Taking care of my son, witnessing his achievements in school and being just a sweet boy, makes me so thankful everyday. I enjoy my life spending time with him.

I also love being a mom, but it is also a very stressful period at times. It is great to know that someone loves their children as much as you do.

Of course, doing things that were characteristic of us, like me. Likes to play games and blogging, even just sitting and staring at the screen but it makes me comfortable and enjoy. and occasionally i go out with friends and family for a vacation.

I enjoy my time on the computer as well. I think that I learn many things about myself when I am blogging.

What I really enjoy most is when I go to a secluded place and relax. Nothing beats the feeling of spending time with nature and enjoying every piece of it. The trees, the waters, the animals and the other stuff which gives me an invigorated feeling and clear my mind from work. Of course, I can't do this often because of my job but when I have time I will do what it takes to get to the place where I feel most relaxed.

It is great to know that you enjoy nature that much. I like to be relaxed and nature can do just that. Keep going to that special place to enjoy your time away from work.
