A Hobby of Mine...

Someone asked me what my hobbies were...
I think they may have thought I had none because the list didn't come out of my mouth right away.
I had to pause and think back to the days when I had time for them. 
Sad, huh.  
In my journal I wrote of my dilema. Why couldn't my hobbies just stream out of my mouth and flow into their ear? Did I have hobbies? Well, that's lame, how do I fix it? I swear I have hobbies, what happened to me?


This is what happened....
.Life.
Life, because  I have lots to do (as most people do) and I haven't had "hobby" time for awhile. (or "Hubby time" says Steve)
Then I realized, a hobby isn't just a talent. 
It is also:


      Relaxation
             Enjoyment
                        Release
                               Center

                Holding on to you while finding out more about you.

               Holding on to sanity...

                   Putting aside stress and 

finding a release 

That is what I wrote in my journal. All the things a hobby means to me.
Then I proceeded to make a hobby list.

One of the hobbies from my list is...
Photography.


Today I enjoyed two of my hobbies, photography and spending time with my little sister.

This one cracks me up! 

Just like a little kid...

She goes on the ice after I tell her not to.

(I turned around from changing lenses to see her testing out the ice)

Yes that is right I caught ya!

Fun.

Hobby-licious Day

But...

I missed my other hobby

Playing with this rascal.

I don't know if it is because I work full time, but, 

playing with him is relaxing to me.
