Finding an Offline Hobby

So picture this: I’m sitting next to my husband tonight as I’m on the computer (again) and we’re watching Grey’s Anatomy¹. You see, I’ve been thinking about writing this post all day and decide I’m going to test out my idea by sharing it with my husband.

Fortunately, this past summer I realized that gadgets² and the Web are my hobby and I was ecstatic that, career wise, I was doing what I love! Unfortunately, I’m now beginning to think that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Me: “You know, I’m thinking I should figure out a hobby that isn’t tech-related. Just to get some balance.” Laptop on lap, looking up from where I’ve been tweeting.

Hubs: “Mmmmm hmmmm. So what are you thinking about?”

Me: “I don’t know. I think I’ll blog about.”

My husband then starts cracking up and shaking his head.

He chuckles³ and says, “That’s like someone saying they need to go on a diet and that they’re going to go seek support from their friends at McDonalds.”

Touche.

But it’s true … I’d love to explore some ideas about a new skill/hobby that I can explore and learn. I don’t know if that’s going to be trail running, healing arts, painting, beading, crochet⁴, magic tricks or sea monkey breeding.

However, I’m hoping you all can give me some ideas. Share your hobbies that you are passionate⁵ about and how you discovered them. I’d love to know the resources that you’d recommend and how your own hobby has enriched your life.
