I love that you included organizing areas of your home on your hobby list. It’s on mine too 🙌 Another hobby that I’ve begun lately is bookbinding. When you asked the question about what makes you feel like yourself, that was the first thing that came to mind. I happily spent hours learning to cut, fold, sew, and paste paper, signatures, mat board,and book cloth with a degree of accuracy I never had before imagined. I didn’t mind the investment of time because I just thoroughly enjoyed the quiet process, and learning a myriad of skills as I went. Thanks for this post - it’s good to start to think about these things.
