Hobbies

Yes, dear friends, when the going gets tough, the tough remember to absorb themselves in their hobbies. The increased mental, physical and cognitive health just may give them the problem-solving ability they need to cheerfully tackle life’s challenges. Besides, the world can never have too many scroll-saw cuckoo clocks, dried pasta Christmas decorations, or collections of elements of the periodic table.
