I'm a fan of a creative outlet. Not sure what you actually do, but there are things ranging from painting and involved drawing through clay work, soapstone carving, beadwork, photo/digital manipulation . . .
These are things you can do at home but still go out for classes, supplies, seminars, galleries and art/artisan shows . . . There is genuine long term benefit from building up a collection of things you've done (a "body of work" is what I've been told I have
), that you can gift others with, share w the kids - a very real deal.
