But, at this point in my life, I must say that I have found a hobby which I could probably enjoy for the rest of my life without ever getting bored.
The name of this particular hobby is having a stroll in the park or on the beach. Yes, that right I opted strolling as my hobby. Nearly 2 years ago I felt seriously ill because due to my age I didn’t had much physical activity. Than my doctor recommended me to do some exercise so I started walking. It gave me great benefit in increasing my health level also rejuvenate my mind as when I inhale the cool and fresh breeze it stimulate my nerve system and I feel very energetic. So now whenever I feel bored I tend to go out for strolling and I am mostly accompanied by my best friend who lives in the proximity we recall our old days and it’s a great fun going with him.
