Discovering Myself

[GoodGarden]

I am a naturally restless person. We have 3 kids and in the past, taking care of them and minding their social schedules took up a lot of my free time. I used to play golf but was never really good at it. Any suggestions for hobbies to pick up or how to go about starting something new? If I’m not busy, I sit around and fret. I do enjoy gardening and landscaping but there is only so much of that you can do. I feel like I am struggle to find my individual identity now that my kids have entered a phase where they don’t need me as much.

I’m trying to do the same. I’m on break from homeschooling and so I have free time. For me what I need is to pick up that brush and paint without excuses.

Hmmm what interests you? Are you into sports or exercising? Maybe sewing or drawing? Writing or reading poetry? Going out to parks or garden centers to enjoy nature?

I really want to go pick peaches and sunflowers on a farm but I think it’s expensive, so I’m hoping I’ll travel soon or something fun will come up.

Hope the ideas will lead you to what you want to try out. Wishing you the best.

I’m into being outdoors. Unfortunately it has been so hot lately that it limits the amount of time you can be outside comfortably. I enjoyed playing pick up sports when I was younger. Picking peaches sounds nice. I’ve never done that. I’ve only picked strawberries and blueberries.
