my hobby

From Wiki:
"A hobby is an activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation, typically done during one's leisure time."

I was thinking about hobbies today, which i have had so many. From chess and stamp collecting as a kid, and later from photo editing to all of the outdoors sports, from building things to growing things, --  there is an endless list of enjoyable activities that i have embarked on, some mastered, others barely got into. Some of them occupied me for a period of time, some of them lasted a lifetime and filled my existence with unforgettable experiences and awesome thrills.
Today i realized that now taking care of my family is my main hobby. It is something that gives me pleasure and relaxation, it is something that i would rather do over anything else. Just a short while ago i would not have imagined it. It is not the kind of thing you can conceptualize abstractly. But as i cut another green onion for my Thai fishcakes, i feel joy, and energy, and love, - i feel i am attempting to create another daily masterpiece to nurture those that i love the most with the most flavorful nutritious, creative food that i can master. And, as i fold the warm laundry, my heart fills with tenderness, fluffy as the towels i washed, because i am taking care of items that will caress the bodies of my loved ones, and that exhilarates me like no other hobby ever did.
