[quote=Anonymous]If you enjoy gardening and related activities, you can become certified as a master gardener or a master naturalist. It will give you an instant group of like minded people to connect with, and there are volunteer commitments, so you'll have some time filled by those activities. I am an avid gardener, and am going to start working on my master naturalist certification.

As a corollary to that, I started getting into birding. I'm still very much an amateur, but listening to bird calls, attempting to spot and identify them, makes going for walks and hikes more interesting. You'll know you've gone off the deep end when you build a bird pond (low effort, high payoff) like I just did, and install a camera just to watch birds.

The same sort of calm/zen that I get from birds, I also get from watching fish. I go snorkeling, and plan to get scuba certified when I have the time. It'll make those trips to warm places with reefs even more interesting. Value add to your vacations. [/quote]
