I think that having a hobby that you're continuously interested in will give you more of a drive to life, a focal point, if you will. Agree or disagree? Maybe some hobbies you have/had that lets you take a break from the hard rigors of life?

I enjoy piecing quilt tops. You can make it simple or difficult, whichever you prefer. Also, you don't have to be in a rush to finish it but when you do get it completed you are very proud of yourself. This is something you can take with you if you are traveling also.

That's a really good hobby! A lot of hobbies you tend to need specialized equipment or a place to do it, so you can't always have it around, but crafty things like quilts, that sounds like a great hobby.

I have a few and I use them as a chance to let go of my regular life and have a little fun. Some of my hobbies like drum corps I work very hard at and it helps me get some of the stress out of my body. Other things that I do like photography is just fun. I like to take and share pictures with people. So you could say that hobbies are a bit of an escape from everyday life.

Hobbies, I agree, are a great way to relieve stress. Much too often I hear of aging men and women succumb to monotony and start losing the sharpness of their mind, as well as growing weak in mind and body for a lack of focus in life.
