[quote=Anonymous]I need a hobby or passion. I'm 44. I have interests and hobbies, but nothing I"m super passionate about other than being a mom. But I feel that making that my life's purpose is dangerous. Kids grow up. They are their own people.

I work and like my job, but it's kind of corporate and when I'm not doing it, I don't think about it at all.

I think it needs to be something I can do on my own or with others, and that I could spend money on but could also do relatively cheaply. Like I could go on a one week retreat to do it in a foreign country, but could also do it locally by just going to a class or meet up once a week, or setting up a little space in my home to do it.

Anyone have ideas? I know some are obvious -- yoga, gardening, some kind of art or textile craft. But I'm not sure those sound right to me. I like yoga but I don't know if I love it enough to be one of those people who does it daily. I don't have a ton of space for gardening. I crochet but it's just a way to keep my hands busy.

I know I'm being really broad here. I just need ideas. I'm feeling adrift.[/quote]
