Get a Hobby!

I think it is very important for everyone to have a hobby. For those who are single/only parents... it is a must! Play a sport, do something artistic, take a class, play video games, run, cook... do something that makes you happy and makes you feel accomplished.

I play soccer with my siblings, but I also have an artistic outlet. I recently started painting with watercolors. I like to paint birds and taught myself by watching youtube video tutorials.

Here a a few samples:

I love watercolours and I love your birds. Think I'll check out those youtube clips. Sometimes I just LOVE mixing colours and applying them to the paper without painting anything. Not for abstract or impressionist paintings. But because I like mixing colours and watching the wet paint run and dry. I actually suck at art. But gee it's therapeutic!!

Cute birds! I, myself desperately need to get a hobby. I think the source of my frustration is having no balance or outlet. I am raising 4 children on my own after leaving an abusive relationship 3 years ago and I would love to get out there and dive into something new just don't really have the confidence and I still have those unworthy feelings. My hobby needs to be getting some good psychotherapy.

OH I agree! I have two hobbies.
I play video games - yup I do. I've been a gamer since I was 12 with Atari. Of course, this is only when I have enough money to pay for the monthly fees for the games but I try and play. I play Wizard 101 (thanks to The Boy) and World of Warcraft. But its sporadically that I play.

I also do photography. That I do more as I can take a photo anywhere for free. I have a photoblog that I post all my best photos to. Its fun! The photoblog is in my blog.

But yes, hobbies are a must!
