I can totally relate. In my younger days I had clearly defined hobbies, but life has diminished my time to engage in any of them. It's amazing how little time one has after a certain point in life. But I guess it's a matter of making time...if what you want to do really matters.
I'll probably never play basketball like I once did, cause it's a young persons game, lol. I do plan on getting back into playing the piano. I really miss it. I have started reading more frequently again, so that's a start in the right direction.
Excellent post and good luck with more crosswords! 🙂
Those are excellent hobbies! I hope you pick at least one of them back up!
