Hi @Bipo,
I second that.
I have enjoyed many things in life too mainly in the arts and design, outdoor activities such as bushwalking, travel, photography, cooking and baking, horticulture, animals and many more!
Living a nomadic life, I would often be touched by kind and loving people along the way.. 
I appreciate the little things in life that matter.

Hi @Bipo . Thanks for starting this new discussion post! My hobbies are-
Craft- knitting, cross stitch and crochet which I love doing as they all help my MH in different kinds of ways. I like going into craft stores and looking around as well as looking on the Internet for new cross stitch kits and ideas. I also knit things for charity like blankets and beanies. You might like the Craft Corner discussion area to see what other forum members do in this area.
Journalling- I like writing down thoughts and ideas about how I'm feeling about things and life in general. I'm also now doing a photo journal where I've taken photos or found pictures on Facebook and other internet sites and write about the image such as what I think is going on and how it makes me feel.
Reading
Going for drives- to the country areas of Victoria, to the beach and finding new places to eat lunch, like a cafe near a park.
My cat Mitz- a calico tortoiseshell who is 3 and very adorable
AFL- Brisbane Lions
NRL- Melbourne Storm
Swimming
Watching tennis when it is on TV or going to the Australian Open

Hi @Eve7 . Nice to see a fellow knitter here! I just thought I'd let you know that there is a discussion area called Craft Corner here under the Social Spaces area of the forums that you might like to check out and maybe join in on. What things do you like knitting?

Hi @Judi9877 thank you for tesponding. I will check out the Craft Corner.
I knit rugs in footy teams’ colours, baby clothes and not much else. I used to knit clowns when I worked night shift.
It’s so good to have a group about craft on the forums.
