My goal when younger was to survive and I did.
Now in my senior years I can relax and go online to learn anything ( creative) that I want too try out.
I lately have bought a watercolor paint set and online learned how to paint different types of flowers, then I found out how to draw/paint bees in a garden.
I continue to look at how to paint different subjects so that I might be able one day to create a nice scene showing all the subjects or in part.
It turned out NOT exactly as depicted in the video but it was a good start.
I really like it now and in whatever spare time I do different subjects to learn how its done and keep them in a bound water color paper book.
I have numerous books on a variety of subjects as I like to investigate and read on things that I never thought of reading and found it an interesting way to expand my learning.
Always learn something new and one is never bored, so this pandemic thing that we are all going though has taught me to invent other ways of entertaining and yet productive ways to get through it sanely.
Keep learning, as the world has so much to offer so take advantage of your free time and learn new skills along the way.
When hiking ( hopefully this summer as more people are out on the trail ( safety in numbers)
I combine hiking with sketching ( at times) and photography plus the odd once in awhile pick one flower to press, or pick up a loose feather and keep it in a diary.
As for feeling empty, usually its after a goal that you really weren’t satisfied with so keep taking new steps into a variety of interests until you find one that holds your interest.
Goals just for goals is empty, so instead go after things that excite you.
