What hobbies bring you happiness? What hobbies cause you strees?

[Guest guest]

I am interested in knowing what hobbies and situations bring joy to each of you.

I don't really think this will shed new light on 4s, but instead, I am just

curious.

For me it's reading. I can delve into someone else's situations and escape

mine; plus, I am usually alone when I do this. I also love music especially if

it is loud. Going to concerts is one of my favourite things. I love to drive,

too, and this seems weird to me because I have been a victim of numerous

moderate-severe car accidents. I now know that it is, once again, a means for

escaping the world through music. I also love the night time because the world

seems so much quieter. People sometimes tell me that I sleep away half the day

and I respond, " Ah, but you sleep away half the night and I do not. "

Stress for me is cooking and shopping. These are traditionally the woman's job

and I am trying to overcome feeling inadequate as a wife. The problem lies in

that I have problems with planning out things in advance, I also have to go to

one or more stores and face my triggers (you can hear high heels throughout a

store!) and I always saddled with indecision.

Going to movies at theatres is never a joy either. I once heard that some

theatre(s) in the UK were going to have popcorn free theatres. This was a long

time ago and I'm pretty sure it hasn't taken place. Ah, if only we had the

choice. Instead of smoking or non-smoking sections we could have an eating and

no eating section. Ha ha!
