Members enthusiastically shared their favorite hobbies and pastimes in response to someone who loves reading, with the conversation revealing a vibrant community finding joy and relief through creative pursuits despite chronic illness challenges. Many members described crafting activities like crocheting, knitting, sewing, painting, jewelry making, and adult coloring as both therapeutic outlets and ways to maintain focus when pain or fatigue make other activities difficult, with several noting they adapt their hobbies based on how their bodies feel each day. A recurring theme was the importance of staying mentally engaged through games, reading, music, caring for pets, and connecting with others online, with members expressing deep gratitude for hobbies that offer distraction from pain, preserve cognitive function, and provide moments of normalcy and accomplishment.

I love word searches, reading novels, studying the Bible and researching as I prepare for a Sermon; also love writing poems. I have a poetry booklet published in 2006 called "Inspirations From The Heart" by Linda Waller Bland which is on amazon.com

Must I pick just one? I love reading and I love studying the Bible. I love music and singing. I like being outside on sunny days and being in the mountains. Beaches are pretty great, too. I like watching whales and dolphins leap from the water. I love to watch children playing and laughing. I love playing with and cuddling with my four dogs. I love being with my husband and children. (I hope my like tos are more than my list of don't like tos.)
