Just one? You have to be kidding! Lets see computer games, writing this blog, my garden, carving, spending time with my family, spending time with my pets and of course my model railroad.
Let me spill the beans on getting rid of frustration in enjoyable and creative ways. Play. Creative play can take many forms. Sometimes, like my carving, they may even occasionally yield profit. But don’t take up a pastime because it is determined to be profitible. That’s a business, and just a source of more stress.
A hobby or pastime is not emotionally neutral. You have to have some passion for it to be sustainable. Some hobbies are solitary, and others have group participation. There is nothing unique in my hobbys, I am not pioneering new pathways, this makes it easy for me to share with others the enthusiams, knowledge and insights gained by doing them. It’s part of what makes them fun.

That video is so much fun!! I love seeing Sabrina in action.

For the people who live in that town, it must be a horror movie to have that giant tiger stalking their transportation!
True, but there are two tourist buses at the passenger station with the thrill seekers. Fantasy is fun.
Yes it is…
Is that N-scale? I want to say it’s one up from that, but the feline makes it difficult for me to judge. I am fascinated by how life-like it can become. If I had the space, I’d build one of those. Nice work! Hugs
It’s HO, and shares a spare room with storage, my office space, and the cats. We had N scale when the Grey Menace, Clancy, was around; he loved it, and it takes up much less space than HO.
Sabrina is the town mouse catcher
And house wrecker, too.
