How do your hobbies make you smile?

As you enjoy your “off” time, what hobbies make you smile?

Here’s my answer:

yoga ~ I practice Bikram yoga (the hot yoga) 3 times per week. I love the class setting & I feel great at the end.

surfing ~ I surf twice a week and so look forward to my time in the water. I can tell I’m improving and my stamina and shoulders are stronger.

scuba diving ~ I recently resumed this hobby w/ my girlz. I have always loved being under water and enjoying that world under the sea.

beach ~ I enjoy sitting out on the beach or standing in the water with Mark and/or friends chatting and people watching. The water here is clear, refreshing and blue.

reading ~ I love to read books on my new “toy” (iPad) and flip through magazines filled with stories, photos and decorating ideas. I enjoy personal development books and thriller novels.

sewing ~ I have enjoyed sewing since I was in 6th grade.  I earned nine ribbons in the LA County Fair over eight years. I made all my daughters’ outfits and much of our home decor over the years.  My sewing machines are stored away now, but someday I’ll bring them back out and open my creative corner!

parties ~ I so enjoy people and music. Put the two together and I’m in heaven.

So what about you? What hobbies make you smile and your heart sing?
