Is there something so fun for you that you lose track of tim

[SparkleNana]

Yes, there is for me. And I think I am celebrating me - and celebrating life - when I do it. For me, it is gardening. Putting together a tapestry of flowers that appears from early spring to late fall. I plant most in my front yard - so everyone walking by can drink in the beauty. (I know that not everyone has time to garden, or space. But almost everyone loves to see beautiful flowers.)

I have a full, billowing cottage style garden - with perennials that may bloom only for a couple of weeks and annuals that bloom all summer. As many roses of different colors as I can squeeze in - close to the street so they can be enjoyed close up by passers -by. All kind of flowers. When bulbs go on sale for 75% off, I buy bags full. Waves of spring flowers, one kind after another coming into bloom. The tiny snowdrops and winter aconites are already in bloom.

I would much rather buy plants than food (peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are tasty and don't take up much time meant for gardening.) I have no sense of time passing when I am working in the garden.

So this is how I celebrate me. How about you? Have you found your passion yet?

Anytime I'm scrapbooking, crafting or cooking I completely loose track of time!!! I love working on new things!!! Now I work at waiting for a day to just get lost in it! (Saturday I've got another scrapbooking day where it feels like I've been doing a project for 10 minutes and I look up and the day is gone!!!) Love it!!!!
During the summer anytime we are together as a family--boating, swimming, talking, traveling, or whatever time flies so fast that the whole day is gone in minutes!

About the only thing I can sit and do for hours without realizing the time is read. If i'm absorbed in a good book, I can sit for hours and felt like i've only been there for a few minutes.

Being on these boards! :love:

me too I can be here for HOURS reading and responding to all the new posts and then on the computer with emails and other sites...lol

I agree with jampss and christmascreations being here at MHH and reading everyones ideas. Also time spent planning events, parties projects for the home, I can sit with my various notebooks for hours and not realize where the time has gone.

SparkleNana I do love to see beautiful flowers but I'm not much of a gardener.

Hmm....these boards for one, reading...and right now, Dance Dance Revolution. lol. My husband bought it for me as a form of exercise since I've been stuck inside most of the winter. It really is fun once you get into it and I can accidentally play for 2 hours. I've never had any form of exercise I actually looked forward to!

I lose track of time when cooking, reading, gardening, and computing. I have learned to set a timer for things I need to break for.

I love these boards and the creativity and homemaking ideas I get from everyone. I now allow myself 1 hr computing time of a morning over coffee...and one hour of an evening.

I love getting lost in cyber space....a little too much...but I'm learning to temper it!

For me it's when I'm downloading pictures from my digital camera to my computer, planning a party/vacation and visiting MHH. bun1

For me, visiting this board and my favorite blogs. I also lose track of time when I'm scrapbooking. I love when I am involved in a big organizing project - the garage, the kids' clothes, planning something big - I can work for hours at a time without realizing it.
