As I age I find myself doing things I used to consider my hobbies (seeing bands, plays, etc) less and less due to grown up expenses and lack of time. I am not sure if I ever had a true hobby.<BR/><BR/>My husband and his parents and brother all have hobbies and passions. It makes for nice conversation topics and it is much more fun to buy them gifts. When I am out with them I wish I had a hobby too- work and school are not as fun to chat about as hobbies. <BR/><BR/>Lately I have had a couple craft clutches with my girlfriends, but I am really not a dedicated crafter- it is just nice to get people together.<BR/><BR/>I think cooking is a hobby if you continue to stretch the limits of your ability and learn. Blogging is certainly a means of self expression and you do well at it.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can find something for yourself- maybe volunteer or take an art class or a dance class or a writing class just to try something new and get some new insights and feedback. I know I am watching out for something for myself.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904564712432173588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581274125181075681.post-45511068102344614042007-10-22T23:12:00.000-05:002007-10-22T23:12:00.000-05:00pssst! you are amazing!

At one point I thought I would be neither. <BR/><BR/>I don't have any hobbies either, though I really never did -- unless you count reading, but that's more of a release, a pasttime... not a "hobby."<BR/><BR/>You will get beyond the labels. It's okay to take a brief hiatus from what we were to where we are going. Like Momof3 said, why would you want to go back? <BR/><BR/>Take a hiatus, and now that you are here, you recognize your void, you can begin a whole new chapter in your life to fulfill it! How exciting for you!<BR/><BR/>And as far as being defined by the labels of "Wife and Mother" -- change the definition! You define you and nothing else. Not a label or hobby, interest, job, etc. <BR/><BR/>I loved this post!

This is all I know and that is scary! With nothing to look back on how can you go forward. I know you are talented and I know you will find what you are looking for.Rantings by a Middle Aged Drama Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219202561557697635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1581274125181075681.post-61973311979135617642007-10-22T14:07:00.000-05:002007-10-22T14:07:00.000-05:00I don't think you will ever return to the person y...I don't think you will ever return to the person you were but, why would you want to go back? <BR/>You need to decide who you are now and who you will be in the future. Then, take big brave bold steps to be that person. You are the only person in control of your life.Momof3https://www.blogger.com/profile/16428815740258084195noreply@blogger.com
