Get at them again

6 Comments

The daily prompt asks – Are there any activities or hobbies that you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

When younger I had a stamp and coin collection but gave those up many decades ago. My son and I had the hobby of going to the pistol range, but we changed our positions on owning handguns and stopped that activity a few years ago.

I used to ride a motorcycle for a few decades and I miss that activity. I used to play a lot of games and chess when I was younger. I haven’t played games in many years.

My friends and I shot a lot of skeet when younger. We just went to a skeet range a year ago and it was a blast and I think a few of us might do that each year now. It’s something we took a 45-year break from.

Unfortunately, I lost interest in playing basketball. I’m looking forward to rediscover that love again. I lost interest in the arts when I was working so hard in my career but luckily, I’ve rediscovered my love for them and actively pursuing many of them again now.

Having activities and hobbies is a good way to feel alive and stay healthy. Pick up a few more things and feel even better.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.

  1. Really motivating take on pushing forward and trying again. 💪

  2. I gave up riding a motorcycle when I moved back east and wiped out on the sand that hadn’t been cleaner up in the spring.
