I don't know if it's a normal mid-life thing, if it's the journey of self discovery I am on, if it's part of the ADD...but I find myself restless and wanting to learn new things. By "new things", I mean hobbies and interests.
Several friends of mine have embraced photography as a hobby. I absolutely am enthralled looking at some of their pictures. So, I've been pricing better quality cameras online.
One friend of mine has taught herself to oil paint in the last few months....I'm quite impressed. I've seen pictures of her work, and she is good and is having fun.
Another friend of mine is writing a short story in hopes of getting it published.
I have a few friends in town who have parlayed their artsy and crafty side into making money by selling their wares online and in local shows. They are having fun and making a small profit.
I have friends who are way more knowledgeable and into gardening than I am. I have friends who can cook circles around me, and one who writes a food blog in Dallas. I have friends who are really into decorating.
I'm a little bit interested in alot of these areas, but trying to decide on one or two things that I can dive into and learn about. In learning about my A.D.D., I see that it's easy for me to want to do alot, and not focus on one or two things, and then I feel overwhelmed and lose interest. So for me, at this point in my life, I need to embrace learning 1 or 2 new things at a time. I just need to decide on what might be a good fit for me.
