Hobby as a Form of Inspiration

Hobbies are recreational activities that help us forget the stress and hassles of everyday living. There are a lot of hobbies a person can do, the range is endless; one can do sports or photography, it can be as crazy as sky diving to as boring as knitting. Everyone of us, rich or poor, has there own hobby, even if they may not know it is a hobby of theirs, it may not be only one thing but a lot of things that define who you are. Even I have a lot of hobbies that I really enjoy doing. I really like to eat, sleep, do facebook, watch DVD's and a lot of other things old people consider being "lazy" but it is my form of recreation, but I'm not at all lazy, I often do jogging and sometimes have walks with some friends. I may have a lot of this "unproductive" hobbies but the one that I'm most proud of is that I'm really fond of being in the kitchen and cook and bake a lot of different kinds of food.

Being a foodie myself, I REALLY enjoy food, I even consider myself as a food connoisseur at times. I grew this fondness of food when I was still young when my Uncle always let me try a lot of different kinds of exotic dishes, since we went out a lot and go to different places at that time. He served as a model for my inspiration for food and it's when I get to see outside, in the restaurants that I really get inspired into making new things. When at home and feeling a bit bored I just go to the kitchen and conjure something up with what I can find. Even though I had my failures it never stopped me from doing the thing that I really like, and amidst all that I also had a lot of successes.

Through this hobby of mine, I am able to feel relaxed even though I always keep myself busy. It is also a means of having peace in myself and just to forget my problems for a while. The most enlightening part is when others get to taste what you have made and there's this feeling of satisfaction in their faces. And it's when you see others that are happy for what you have done for them that makes you happy as well.
