Great post. Great advice.
I hope a lot of people read this!
Because of health issues, my activities are severely limited. So watching a ton of TV/movies was the ...logical (ya right) thing to do.
Nope.
I have always had an interest in music and played guitar so I dove headlong into learning about making music. The technical and the creative. I don’t plan on doing anything with it. It’s just personal satisfaction.
I can tell you that in 4 years I have not once lacked for something to occupy my mind or my time. The only dvds I have bought are technical/learning and the net is a massive library of info.
And I would point out that the same applies to any interest from needlepoint to carpentry to gardening to nuclear/quantum physics.
We all have a choice. Pay to drool and enrich liberals in their agenda or choose a different path, do something constructive and be happy.
