Is There Something You Like Do But Don't Get To Do, But Once You Get That Chance You Go For It?

I think my response to this is my fishing I like to do but haven't done in from what I have been told 10 or 12 yrs ago, I do like to meddle once in a while cooking a few of my mom's dishes she made as I was a little kid, I like to try new things out as well,but I am a old school kinda person, my opinion, what about you, and your thoughts here?

I enjoy traveling and would like to do more but I have nobody to go anywhere and have fun like I'm on vacation. I am able to go to Tennessee or Arizona but when I do go there and do nothing except hang around in my bros or friends house not like what you usually do on vacations. Also I did so and surprisingly found the abilities of happiness and I wouldn't have done or have it if I didn't have Epilepsy. Which was different public volunteer jobs. Showing not just others of my abilities of success but showing myself also!

Love to swim and just goof off in the water. When I get the chance I get a few laps in and then just let my inner 12 yo out and goof off.

I was an executive chef and restructured failing restaurants. I miss the feel of being in an active full swing kitchen and dinning area, I miss being involved and interacting with the guests and meeting expectations. I miss organizing events and fundraiser. That was always such a rush for me and came so easy. I miss being in public and being recognized for the quality I was able to deliver. I felt... important, then.
Fishing is the other thing. I don't take my kayak out as much. I even purchased a second new kayak so I could take my wife or someone else to make things alittle safer. I always use a Garmin so I will not have to worry about memory issues and I always use a life vest. I also always stay tethered to the seat. All for the sake of safety. I keep my location "on" on my phone...just in case something happened and I don't show up where I should at the end of the day.
Those are the two things that come to mind. Now that my seizures are under control for the first time, I'm considering coming out of retirement ofter 12 years. I've since acquired a degree in Business Administration to add to the resume. I have a better outlook on things and with the way the economy is right now... we all need the extra income.

Horseback riding I was an avid rider from about 11 on. We moved overseas for my dad's job and we got the horses from a family moving back to the states. It was great. We rode to each other's houses they were quite far apart. Weekends we went exploring since we were right at the edge of the city and found meadows to race in and have our lunch. Then through the jungle through the stream and we were almost back to our area where we lived. Our school was right there but they didn't let us ride there we had to walk.
