A few years ago I started painting. There are 3 different teachers on youtube that I watch. It's free. So nice to do in the comfort of your own home.I have learned so much and I love doing it. I've done a few originals but I love the tutorials. Keeps your mind busy. If painting is not your thing find something that is. I also love cross stitch. Simple projects. Crochet and knitting. I only know how to do one stitch in knitting and really have no desire to learn more but I can do it while I watch tv or a movie. When I was pregnant it was puzzles. I should have started with yoga! Exercise would be wonderful. At the moment I'm scared to hurt myself lol I'm pretty clumsy and re covering from surgery
