I've started to draw especially animals and plants. It's a learning curve.I enjoy using charcoal pencils. I make mistakes but continue to try. My mistakes make me laugh which is a great thing to do. Yoga has always been my life long hobby. Never think you are too old to try something different.

I'm 52 and take one hour a day to learning something new a day. :)

I have learned to crochet and it calms my mind!!! I crochet while I'm watching television. I am making scarves for the homeless next Winter. I should have a lot crocheted by Winter. I love to make seasonal wreaths! I love to bake cakes. Everyone loves to receive a cake out of the blue! There was a lady in Atlanta, Ga. who was called "The Cake Lady". She made pound cakes and took them to the local fire department, to sick friends, or just for someone's birthday. I would like to be known as that!

Welcome, curious mind!!!

I taught myself how to paint in acrylics at the age of 55! I will turn 60 this summer and now find myself conducting paint parties from time to time for family (free of course...lol). Along the way I have become somewhat of a jewelry designer and have sold many of my creations. I would make myself something, send one to my sister and before I knew it, everyone in her office was asking for several of my products (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, decorated mirrors). Just the other day, I told my husband that there is so much I want to learn....I don't know if the next 50 yrs will be enough. I am having a ball!

Thanks for sharing. Learning to improve my painting is on my to do list.

I’ve been playing drums since I was 8. I joined a Scottish Pipe band and enjoy it very much, and I draw using the cartoon characters I created when I was 10. Crafting with clay and drawing animals and flowers is also calming. This is a great thing to bring up and remind us all what we love to do or at least used to do.

I travel and camp all over the US. I love to learn about the areas that I travel to. History is exciting to me. I also love photography. I love churches! I am currently in a northern state following Fall colors. Love seeing all the colors.

I love knitting, reading, practicing mindfulness and yoga, watching films, going for a walk (if it's possible in the nature!), staying with close friends...

I crochet, read, am going to learn embroidery after our Xmas bazaar is over in early December. I used to collect tea cups, teapots, refrigerator magnets

Sashiko/Boro. I made some zokins (Japanese dust cloths). Watercolour, crochet, sewing, walk with trekking poles as a HIIT workout, frugalism, simple living, recycling, and gardening. Greets from Canada.

When I was in my early twenties I saved money out of every paycheck in hopes to make it to art school. Well, life happened and I never made it. Here it is over 40 years later and I've retired, so now I have time and I'm doing art every day! I write something too every day. And I love photography too! It has changed my outlook on life from feeling exhausted by life's challenges to feeling free to create and enjoy the freedom to be me. I don't have a vlog or anything, but who knows what the future will bring, right? Love to you!

When I was 22 I took a couple of art classes. Had to take drawing & design before paint class. Then I got married & dropped out of college. I went back 35 years later. I loved college and learned to paint, finally !!! Now I paint all the time. It.s never too late to go back to school. And if you are 60, I think you can go for free-but you won't get degree. Check it out !!!

Thank you Margaret for so much inspiration I have recently retired! I was given arts and craft supplies, an enormous pots and pans collection, teas, and pumpkin spice cookies! And a gift card for groceries! With so much time on my hands, I have been baking cookies, swimming, and making beads out of catalogue paper! The paper craft is just to relax, because I went through a serious year and a half of senior abuse! Also journaling is helpful!

Thank you for the video, I have take up walking with my husband a few times a week, as a new hobby since the lockdown started, got trim 😊. I also do knitting, croquet embroidery, gardening and learning to dress make, which I'm enjoying very much. All very therapeutic

Exploring my family genealogy. There is so much more information available online now.

I’m 70… I have or have had so many interests. Over time I find I’m satisfied to do something I’m interested in for a few years or a season then move on to another new interest. Travel is my number ONE interest, I write my life stories, I read almost all topics, study Biblical history and Silver Sneakers Exercise and walking are a few things I’m currently doing. I have served 14 years as an Ombudsman…an advocate for nursing home residents. Since 2004 I’ve been a Master Gardener. I putter around with flowers, plants and vegetables in pots. I’m interested in the future doing more envelope and card making also painting rocks and canvases. I volunteer driving older people to appointments, serving under privileged people meals at a local church supported establishment and going on Medical and Disaster Mission trips.

Decluttering is my new hobby.... for now. LOL. Have a great day.

Hi Margaret. I have done many hobbies like painting, quilting, crocheting, gardening. I even made masks for people who couldn’t get any early on in the pandemic. Right now my main hobby is raising and training my 8 month old cockatiel named Pete. I am teaching him to whistle songs and to talk. He keeps me busy along with my two 13 year old dogs and a 73 year old husband because he’s like having a child. LOL

What a beautiful life you've created Peggy!

I'm a soap maker and tole painter as well as mixed media art bottles, song writer. I started singing and performing in my 30's, traditional Country, Bluegrass and Gospel music semi professionally and recently stopped about a year ago... I am now 61. I do however occasionally sing at an Alzheimer facility where my Mom is.

Hi Margaret, I couldn’t agree more about this video. It’s truly important for people our age to have hobbies because these allow us to sharpen our mind, stay healthy, and relief stress. This also allows us to tap into any talents we posses that we might not know about. More importantly having hobbies is a great way to combat loneliness, since we get to connect more with people who have similar interests here in Reviving Mind’s programs.

Hi Margareth I am 69 and still working as a caretaker... hopefully I will tgo into retirement next year..!! Now that you propose so many amazing things to do...!! Have a great day Margareth and thank you for all your interesting talks !!

Helen Rohringer I too am about to retire thinking of things to do. Let me know what you come up with.

My name is Carla and I made a pinata after I watched you tube. It was so much fun a person can make a pinata for adults as well as childre and a pinata can be filled with healthy snacks.

Crafts during the holidays are fun. Exercising is great for me. Reading my bible and watching my favorite spiritual programs are very fulfilling. Eating out with friends and family parties are fun. I love nature and swimming, reading and learning new things is exciting to me. I love friendships with one-on-one talks with authenticity and laughter. New activities are fun too if not too overwhelming at this age.

Margaret, I truly enjoy your endless creativity and engaging personality. Such a delight to watch you embrace your life so fully while sharing your insight, wisdom, and zest for life with your viewers . 🙏💛✨

Beadwork embroidery and working with glass

Love this video. I do adult coloring. I've been doing it for 3 years and I belong to several Facebook groups of like minded colorists. It's fun, relaxing and stress reducing.

I am trying to adjust to not working full time (I volunteer now) and kids living in another state, also my husband continues to work and business travel....so I find myself alone. Oh dear..well I was an Occupational therapist (retired) and continue to give advise on just about anything to my friends and my children’s friends. So I took some of my own. In some class I remember the teacher stating that to completely retire from the 40 hour a week career/job, you need to have 30 activities that you can engage in. Well I tried and I couldn’t come up with 30, not even 10! So started my journey. Encouraged by my wonderful daughter to use social media as my outlet and share the discovery with my friends and anyone else who needs ideas and a smile. So I actually created a pie chart (I have so much paper, crayons and colored pencils left over from my kids school projects- remember those? Ha) and started posting on Instagram. I would like to start a blog and am learning the technical side of it now. Oh dear, couldn’t I just talk into a mic and have it magically appear? My 60’s will be my curious years, because I never had the time to indulge myself. If you’d like to follow me I’m at, instagram.com/dancelong100 And I’m working on setting up my blog with the help of my wonderful daughter. I’m calling it Thirty Pieces Of Pie.

Bike riding on bike paths...great. Reminds me of being young when cycling in pretty places..

Love oil painting❤️

I acquired a scroll saw last year. Not the highest quality. But I’m self teaching and im enjoying it immensely. I plan to upgrade soon to be by able to cut much more intricate designs. PLUS!!! I can scroll from my wheel chair. Today I used an old paint 8:11 8:13 ed wood piece and cut 5 beautiful designs in it to use in mixed media. It’s fun.

Two things not mentioned is writing stories or poems and having pen pals. My pen pals become very important to me and are like family. You have inspired me to sew again when you mentioned quilting. Thank you for ALL that you do. You are a very inspiring.

I'm just getting into exercise again, a lot of praying and will be getting back into running. Maybe roller skating like I used to. When ice skating rink opens up I might do that, but right now I'm trying to get into my painting.

I just got sourdough starter. I began feeding it yesterday, and this morning it had doubled! I fed it once again, and tomorrow afternoon it. should be ready to bake.

Your personality and the glow that you radiate reminds me of Anne of Green Gables! 😊💖

Where are the 68 things to do? I am 64, disabled after losing my job, close family, husband, friends, pets & with no children! I would love to travel but am financially & physically burdened. I am extremely bored with TV/internet entertainment. I am full of pain - dealing with all arthritic conditions, muscle, nerve & eye damage. I spent my life as an over-achiever. I do have some good days but I am having trouble finding my passion. I’m even having trouble finding a spiritual group or support group in the state of Indiana. What do you suggest I do?

cross stitch and knitting are my passions. Designing them is even more. I've always wanted to be an entrepaneur but I don't know where to start as knitting takes alot of time and money for quality yarn. I've thought about teaching knitting or cross stitch. I majored in music and had 5 scholarships but changed to a nursing major after first quarter. I hope to get more into playing piano again. Music is so healing to me. I would love to travel but no money right now. Sewing is another thing I want to get into. I have the space and table, but need lighting. So many things I love to do. It's ineresting because my morning Bible reading was Ecclesiastes which really reflects what we do with life. Basically enjjoying life otherwise anything else is meaningless it says.

Hello Jennifer. I do basic knitting and it has served me well. But recently I went to a local yarn shop (yes, you are right, good yarn costs a fortune) to enquire about private lessons on stranded (multicolour) knitting. The shop assistant told me she charges $35.00 per hour for private lessons. So, I am planning to take a few lessons with her. I am in Canada, so I don't know what you could charge where you are (USA?) As for lighting, I was really surprised a few months ago when I came across a chrome angle arm light in Walmart--for sitting on a table. It does not look cheap or flimsy and has a sturdy weighted bottom (something like myself!). Anyway, it was less than $40.00. You could always substitute the regular light bulb with an LED daylight bulb or something like that. Good luck! Hope to see some of your creations posted.
