a hobby and so relaxing and very good to keep my knees in shape. The Jacuzzi gets my circulation going and relaxes me. I swim 1/2 mile laps then do 15 to 20 minutes of exercise in the deep water.
7. Bowling relaxes me and I am on 2 bowling leagues. In the East we have bowling with small balls called candle pin bowling or duck pin bowling. We get 3 tries to knock the pins down as it is much harder to do with the smaller balls.
8. Singing relaxes me and helps me with my breathing. I take voice lessons and students perform in various nursing homes 3 times a year. We sing 2 of our favorite songs and then all students sing a fun group song. The residents at the nursing homes clap and cheer us as we brighten up their day.
9. Making angel doll pins to wear at Christmas time or any time. Making a cross necklace out of small doll clothes pins covered with yarn. Making a cross out of ferns that are passed out on Palm Sunday. Making doormat rugs to wipe you feet on out of plastic bread wrappings using a large rug hook. Making Christmas tree ornaments and any craft is very relaxing for me.
10. And of course any writer must have a hobby of reading. I love to go to the library to read magazines, newspapers, and check out books. Reading is very relaxing and puts me to sleep sometimes.
