Can you recommend a new hobby to me?

I love trying new hobbies. My hobby is probably trying new ones and finding ones that stick. Like drawing, writing, and yoga have stuck with me for a long time.

Any suggestions?

Fused glass classes can be expensive, but it is more forgiving than stained glass. Wood turning, trust me this can be addictive and meditative. Hell just watching it can be addictive. LOL Yes, I watch YouTube videos on wood turning. You’re in OK, perfect place too storm chase. Restoring furniture, repurposing items.
I’d also recommend trying out some sports you can do on life long basis. You might try Tai Chi, but dancing, walking, weightlifting (most people have too get nuts to get really buff) could also supplement the yoga you are already doing.

Bake Cookies! All kinds of cookies. Too many cookies. Give them away. Everybody loves a good cookie.

Ballet. I took it up when I was 48 and have loved it. It ties in well with yoga and the intricacy of the moves is apparently good for your brain. And as I can attest, you do not have to be good at it to enjoy it.

Try writing a novel. Pay for a good editor. Get it published on CreateSpace. Make a Youtube trailer for it.

It's a really fun adventure.

@silvereyes - yes, twice. I then became a reviewer of POD publications (print on demand) which basically means "vanity press"; i.e. your shit gets rejected by every publishing house in existence, so you self-publish. But there's lots of good stuff out there missed by the big publishers; their loss. I've yet to figure out how such trash gets attention, but quality writing doesn't. Maybe it's who you know, dunno.

@silvereyes:

Nothing much.

#2 was may favourite. Could be a movie script, I was told by numerous people in the industry. Need a good agent...

Learn to ride a motorbike. I don't know about over there, but here in the UK there is a great social scene around bikes. Women are welcomed and treated as equals.

Skydiving

OK yeah, that's not a match for you then. It really is the most awesome feeling you can imagine. I haven't done so in many (too many) years. I'd love to get back into it, but I have too many hobbies (dog training, home building, car).

Based on the likes you listed, try Macrame, Crochet or Knitting. I do macrame on occasion and it's something that keeps your fingers busy. It's not too expensive to buy into and can be used to make some interesting things for yourself, friends and family.

I am just glad it's not "someone" on those needles! 🙂

A hobby usually comes from some sort of interest, for example, photography, which, may develop into a passion. What interests you?

You sound creative - try music, learn an instrument ... it's been quite therapeutic over the years for me.

Guitar (mainly jazz). I'm also a wannabe drummer 🙂

Only beading so far, and have read up on wire caging. I hope to do more once my nest empties and I possibly retire from industry, freeing up some time.

@silvereyes Some would say sewing can be quite therapeutic, and a cheap way of making original clothing.. others would say its completely frustrating. My mother made me learn sewing as a kid, she also made me play tennis. I have not done either of those again since.

Hiking?

Yep.

Volunteer your time!! So many non-profits need regular support. It's the best way to make a difference for everyone (including yourself).

3D pens are fun to play with. I've made a tree so far and have seen videos of people making all sorts of things with it, including an automatic rubber band gun.
