I needed that. Jennifer, this is a great post and I am so happy you shared it with us at The Crazy Little Love Birds link party #16. We're always so happy when you join us there.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15402333521387232161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5470731358731512901.post-65889937794573401122023-12-06T14:49:36.212-07:002023-12-06T14:49:36.212-07:00Thanks so much, Lydia.

I hope your friends will re-discover (or discover for the first time) something that brings them joy in life. If they need some ideas, I definitely recommend memory-keeping! :) I think hobbies are important always, but maybe especially if you feel lost or like you need to reconnect with yourself. I appreciate your comment.

I have lots of hobbies but I noitice a few friends of mine struggling as the kids need them less and long into post divorce lamenting they have nothing to do because they have no hobbies and one even said "I don't really know what I like and I have no interests".

Doing things you enjoy, using talents, developing talents, learning how to do something cool--it's all so good for us. :) I'm glad you enjoy scrapbooking--I did paper for many years until I started needing to get it done faster. You're right that digital frees up a lot more space. I have said here on the blog (probably more than once!) that one of my favorite things about digital is being able to scrapbook anywhere I go, including at the car shop while I'm waiting for an oil change. :) However you like to do it, though, is wonderful.

I love scrapbooking but have stuck firmly to my "old school" paper and embellishment ways.
