I enjoy getting out in nature and reading, especially through magazines and through books to help me to learn ways to get through this wacky life we live. I also enjoy horseback riding, and watching the clouds and looking up at the stars, and just listening to the birds sing. These are relaxing and uplifting to me.

Thanks, Beaumont for giving me an alternative to the forum I was on.

You're a great person!!

Hi to All !
Wow, that is a hard question due to my chronic depression. So "fun" doesn't really exist so much anymore in my world.
But, I am getting the knack for it again!
So, for fun, I am a lot like CW. I too love nature and reading. I have just gotten back into reading for both pleasure, and as part of my "homework" from my therapist.
I truly enjoy watching movies, especially my favorites, over and over and over...of course always with popcorn and a coke! : )
I also enjoy trying to help others, but get discouraged when I see the same people continuing down their miserable paths preferring to whine and complain rather than actually wanting to, and working to help themselves.
That means this DS group is perfect for me as people are choosing to join. Choosing is an active way of showing yourself, as well as others, that you are purposefully taking a role in making a better life for yourself.
Cheers to Beaumont for starting this new DS group.
Take care,
BB

Just lately, I have become very involved with a facebook on line game called "Stormfall". It is a sort of war and conquest strategy game. I've never done one of these on line before.

I also have been putting in my garden, and am starting the remodel of my back yard.

I am retired now; have been for 15 months. 15 years in Al Anon did not prepare me for the unlimited free time I have now. So making good use of all that time is a life skill I am seeking. ONe day at a time.

@ Bob: wow, gardening is the way to go nowadays; can be a lot of work, but oh the delicious results you'll have! And great way to get exercise!

@ BB: I'm glad you are back into reading again for fun. And, I, too, enjoy movies, especially funny ones, and comedies. They really help with the depression for me.

@ Beau: well, you know I think you are a hero.

I like to read, play with my cats, watch t.v., be with my family.

Puzzles

Watching college basketball

Ancestry research

Reading

Spend time with animals


Garden

Journal

Card games

I also love to play at chess, read, and bicycle long distances.

I'm a nurse........so the answer is SLEEP.

Sleep is a wonderful, wonderful thing. I have the day off today and actually got to sleep in....

Sleeping is good!!! Rest is a weapon!!!

This is kind of embarressing, but I really like those workout videos. Lol I do...

I am involved with one particular puzzle right now ( equally embarressinglol)

I like stand up comedy and I love to sing and play music ( embarressing lol)

So basically, I'm embarressed to have fun! Lol hmmmmmm......weird.....

But proud to be me, so....oh well.

Embarrassed! Ugh

Barr assed...I have to remember that.

Reading and acrylic painting. Eating gourmet food.

Anything that I can do without being hassled by other people is fun for me at the present time. I trimmed my fingernails today and no one interrupted me or tried to stop me while I was doing it, so that is fun for me at this time. I took a short trolley trip today, and none of the other passengers became violent, made threats against other passengers, or acted out their mental illnesses as usually happens when I am on board a trolley, so maybe that trip could be considered 'fun'. I hope to learn how to have regular types of fun at some point in life.
