I hope exuberance isn't too much, but honestly, creative expression has kept me from the loony bin. From1999-2016, my husband and I had a small ranch in NM, and he did computer work etc., I did wife stuff and built structures out of recycled materials. This is a beer/soda can, cement, wood rounds, beer bottle enclosure for the trash cans. I loved building it and especially like mixing creativity and physical. Not able to do this type of thing anymore now that we live in a city, but if you are able to add physical aspects to your creativity, it might be even more fulfilling. (Dance comes to mind).
