It hard to go from working all the time to doing nothing. I think many of us can relate to what you are going through. For me, I eventually got back in to my art work. I have never been much of a TV watcher and my TV is rarely on until DDs come home from school.

When my cognition is good, I read A LOT. I love science and read a lot of science articles and books.

Give yourself some time to explore what is out there. There is a whole new world out there for you. Google "list of hobbies" or "find a hobby." I am sure there is tons of stuff out there. Hobbies doesn't necessarily mean crafts or anything artistic. I can be related to an interest of yours, like . . .astronomy and building a telescope.

Everyone here has given some great ideas and I am impressed with all the different things people are doing. What a great inspiration you all are.

Let us know what you decide. I certainly would love to hear what you have found.
