aneverydaystory Readers Share Life-Changing Hobbies

Facebook commenterSandra S:

Reading. I have traveled the world in books.

Facebook commenterDebbie T:

Gardening restores my soul.

Facebook commenterSeann V:

The guitar. Getting good at guitar gives me superpowers. I make 95% of my friends through music.

Facebook commenterFaith M:

I have been doing animal rescue for over ten years. I do this through anger, tears, headaches, heartbreak, sleepless nights, chasing, fostering, advocating, adopting, and being their voice. It is tiring but worth it. I still do it. I love what I do. It helps my heart and mind. Trust me, it makes you a better person. Open your hearts; many homeless animals need you.

Facebook commenterPatricia S:

It changed my life. I had to put down both my long-term kitties in September and October. Two weeks later, this little demon appeared in my bushes. She is not a TNR; she is my new spoiled little monster.

Facebook commenterJulie W:

Crocheting made me better. I got sick and crocheted, then donated items to locals in need. It helps me be a better version of who I was before. It is calming and keeps me centered while helping others.

Facebook commenterCoby B:

Swimming is my hobby, and I made it my profession for many years.

Facebook commenterDawn S:

Theatre. I started in ninth grade, going from a shy wallflower to outgoing. I stopped after high school, realizing I missed it. For about 18 years, I have been on and off involved with various levels of participation.

Facebook commenterMike O:

Traveling. After conquering my fears and visiting Wasaga, I saw the party islands, the squeezers, the aqua dumps, and the bad drinking water. I knew I could face anything. That is how I became a backup goalie for the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs.

Facebook commenterAdam D:

Video games. I played Nintendo since I was a kid. I still play on different consoles; it relieves my stress.

Facebook commenterLynda G:

I made cake decorating a career.

Facebook commenterBillie J:

I started yo-yoing about eight years ago. I started a Facebook group six years ago; now, I have 3,200 people. I started YouTube in 2015. I taught myself editing, filming, everything, and now I work for a post-production company editing feature films!

Facebook commenterHeather P:

Farming with my best friend/husband.

Facebook commenterRyan M:

Running! It is a great mental escape and healthy.

Facebook commenterMatt B:

Woodworking. I built this banjo from scratch in the '80s. I spent over 100 hours just cutting mother-of-pearl designs with a jeweler's saw and shaping them with needle files to inlay them into the black ebony neck. The whole project took more than two years. Patience matters.

Facebook commenterPeggy H:

Buying a Harley made me fearless.

From Facebook commenterEddie S:

Good for you. I started riding at 15.5 with my [driver's] permit 250 Yamaha enduro, but my first Harley was a 1990 FATBOY, and now I have a 2004 RoadKing PeaceOffice special.
