Hobbies Serve Me Well

I have a slew of hobbies, and I love them all.
When they no longer intrigue me, I forget I ever had them.
It’s my Gemini mind.

I forgot I used to have a dark room for decades.
I do not want one again, but it was nice to remember.
I forgot I used to crochet until my granddaughter wanted to learn how.

My hobbies are in full swing until I lose interest
Then they fall off a cliff of who cares,
Most are never retrieved.
for I am constantly on the
look out for something new.

Hobbies are so important Caren. Enjoy! :) I did used to knit some scarves, but I don't do that lately. There are always new ones like you say, though :)

It is crazy how fast I can fly from one mountain of fun into another.

I love the very idea of collecting, but I don't know why. When I get something, I think would this be something I'd like to collect? I brought back a shot glass from S.Dakota (to take my medicine in) and thought, I should have collected a shot glass from every state I visited. Jeesh! And what would I have done with them?

You could have used them for decorative hats for your elves and brownies Hank.
