What do you love doing just for fun or just because?

Could be a hobby or something silly or slightly quirky that you just love doing...
Maybe you love pretending you're filming a cooking show every time you cook a meal or singing at the top of your lungs while driving..... Or have a hobby of writing or drawing or dancing that you love. Or you have a fun game you play with your pets or...

 

This is a bit of a silly one, but I love spotting things shaped like hearts in nature or just different places out in the world. A friend and I have gotten in the habit of this now! ha ha.
I've seen heart-shaped leaves, oil spots that looked like hearts, that way rain has dried on the sidewalk in the shape of a heart, a small heart-shaped pebble.. so many places... even what was possibly duck poop.

 

Riding my bike. It’s a cool tiny folding bike, and I am very tall, so it’s quite a sight to people, lol.

LOVE the visual of this! Do you have a typical route or explore different areas?
I used to love going for bike rides when I lived in a really rural area!
They have just put bike lanes in some places here, so maybe something for me to explore again.
Thanks for sharing!

 

FUNNN! I am downloading this now and suggesting to a relative too who loves crossword puzzles so this will be something fun for us both to do, albeit humbling as I learn just how much I have forgotten math skills! ha ha! Another opportunity for the rewilding? Do math without calculators!

A few months ago we went down a rabbit hole with this riddle game. It took a bit to get somewhat good at it, but definitely helped me to think a bit more outside the box.

Thanks for sharing this app! Something else to explore....

 

I suck at math and always have. But this has really gotten me better, pretty fast. Plus it’s relaxing. Don’t ask me how?!!!

 

I live pretty close to the ocean and there is a path along side it, it’s very nice, and hasn’t been too windy!

 

I Like Grocery shopping.
I have always wanted to have a Grocery shopping show for Single Guys. When I shop with my Friends or sons I am aghast at their lack of grocery store skills.

When I was like 8 I had a teacher who used to have us Watch "consumer By-line" for extra credit.....How to do math to see if something is actually a better deal, or if the company is paying you .1 cent per cubic yard to store toilet paper.
How to understand dates on the bottom of cans, and If something really is a better deal because it's less expansive. How to calculate if you are actually going to consume the stuff in time.
Then there was Joe Carcione The Green Grocer. From watching his show I am outstanding at choosing fruit and vegetables. I am known at the Green Hills Kroger as 'Watermelon Man' because I will acoustically test 4-10 Melons to get the best 2. Peaches do NOT ripen in a bag. Banana Do.

Even when I was married I did the shopping 90% of the time. I LIKE doing it. It is fun. Obviously that teacher had a Huge impact on me. I also have the ability to remember long lists of numbers so when they try to overcharge you (which happens with alarming regularity) I can conjure up the price at the checkout from memory.

and finally....I always ride the Cart back to the corral. One good push and those things can go a long way, and when they are empty it is quite a challenge not to tip them over. It's the same balance /muscle memory left over from skateboarding. They have excellent precision bearing in the carts at Publix!

 

A wise teacher you had @Baseball65.
...
I like lifting weights. My high school boyfriend introduced me to this and I've been doing it since then, off and on. I always do it in silence, I detest going to the gym and being forced to listen to demented loud music. I concentrate on the breathing and the movements. I have short sessions, maximum 20 min but they are really effective, I can tell, because I get pleasantly tired.

I like cleaning my home. I used to hate it in the past but in the last ... I don't know ...10 years or so ... I find it very calming and therapeutic to be honest. I'm a tidy person in general (my husband is the opposite!) but I'm also kind of lazy. Anyway, cleaning these days is more like a form of meditation for me, mentally I mean. You clean outside, it feels like you clean inside the mind at the same time.

I like fasting. I realize it's not something a normal person would choose to put on his/her "What do you like?" list. So what? I like it. I used to fast every Friday (just water and a little orange juice freshly squeezed by hand). Sometimes I would fast for 3 days in a row once a month. I don't do it anymore as I used to in the past. Now I fast for 1/2 day and then eat less the rest of the day. I've always suffered from a little bit of anemia and fasting is not recommended for me. But...I like it. It's another type of cleaning I suppose. Of the cells. I do recommend it.

 

I have found out I enjoy playing War Robots: Frontiers on the PS5 which is about fighting other mech robot players from around the world. I have always been a fan of shooting type games. Haha.. I am usually thinking of playing the game at work!

 

Awesome, @Revvy1337! And, from your other posts it sounds like you are just starting out on this journey.
I wonder do you experience the twitching when you are playing War Robots? Have you noticed it dissipates at all?

 

Very rarely do I experience twitching in my glutes or perineum playing it. I usually experience it every where else, though.

 

I love Geocaching. It’s a great way to get outdoors, explore places, solve puzzles, and see things you may not have even noticed before. There are millions of geocaches hidden all over the world, so it’s also a great way to see places wherever you may be in the world. Since they are hidden by locals, you’ll see places that many tourists don’t see because the locals know off the beaten tracks. You can read about it here—

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I’ve been caching since 2002, two years ago after the “game” was launched.

 

I love to knit. I've been knitting since I was in first grade, so about 7 years old. I've learned it from my maternal grandmother, actually she never showed me how to knit, I just stole her trade by observing her. I don't use patterns, I know how to make them but I do not need them actually. I'm quite experienced and I can look at a blouse on someone (who's wearing it) or on a screen (in a movie for instance) and if I'm paying attention and think a little bit...I can figure out the pattern in a few minutes. I'm known to follow women on the street or in stores in order to understand their blouses/knits' construction/model. Ha ha.

I don't do lace, I don't like it actually. It's feminine, I agree, but it's not practical. You have to wear something under it so your bra is not showing. I know how to make clothes so my knits are made to fit. If they don't fit perfectly and are not modern and fun...it's a waste of time to make them. And a waste of money, since the yarn is not cheap.

It's not a cheap hobby but it is very enjoyable. And calming and relaxing. Since I don't buy knits from the store, never ... I'm OK with spending my money on the yarn.

I'm done with a new men's sweater. It's beautiful, a cream color, almost white. I have to take some pictures and post them on my Etsy store. My husband is the model and ... in this heat...it's going to be hard to convince him to wear the sweater for my pictures...even for 5 minutes. We'll see...

 

I love to go to garden centers. This is my happy place, and I love to garden - actually, I love colour, shape and design and how a garden can be an artists tool but without supreme control. A garden unlike most art or architectural forms has the element of nature that the co-creator can not control and I love this. I love growing from seed, I love breeding new plants, propagation, garden design, color experimentation and just sticking my hands in dirt.

 

So skilled and talented! And you did it again, you made me laugh out loud!
