...See more 🎉 Wrapping Up the Year & Dreaming Up New Hobbies! 🎉 As we roll toward the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to look back, reset, and maybe even try something new in the year ahead. Not just resolutions, or getting fit etc etc. One of the best ways to do that? Picking up a new hobby! New hobbies aren’t just fun, they can boost our mood, spark creativity, reduce stress, and even help us meet new people. Here are a few ideas to get the inspiration flowing: 🌱 Gardening or Plant Care Great for mindfulness, patience, and a little daily joy, plus plants! Take pride and photograph them and share with us here. 🎨 Creative Hobbies: drawing, painting, crafting, writing Perfect for self-expression, creativity, and giving your brain a break from screens. Just relax into the pure joy of the brush or pen. 🏃 Movement-Based Hobbies: walking, yoga, dancing, sports, football Fantastic for physical health, energy levels, and stress relief. 📚 Learning Something New, a language, instrument, singing, or skill Keeps the mind sharp, builds confidence, and gives you something exciting to work toward. 🍳 Cooking or Baking A fun way to unwind, save money, and enjoy delicious results you can share with others. Share your recipes with us here! 🎮 Games & Puzzles, board games, chess, puzzles, casual gaming Great for connection, problem-solving, keeping your mind active, and having just plain fun. The new year doesn’t have to be about big resolutions, sometimes it’s just about adding a little more joy to everyday life. 💬 So, let’s hear it: What hobby are you thinking of starting, or restarting, in the new year? What benefits are you hoping it brings, relaxation, creativity, fitness, connection, or something else? Can’t wait to see everyone’s ideas and maybe steal a little inspiration! ✨ What will 2026 bring for you?  Or, what will Father Christmas bring for you?  New paints, new yarn or wool, or perhaps a gym membership? Or was it a new saucepan? You can help to plan your own future, guide your own path and walk your own steps. Let hobbies help support your mental health and open your mind to new possibilities!

Lifetime Readiness Program (aka Disabled Summer Camp) year 2
by Disneywoman
Last post

...See more Background: Let's me explain the point of this Disabled Summer Camp  the point of the camp is for us to gain life skills for independent living.  and not with family  ie cooking, learning to take public transit, going out to activies like movies, bowling (Bowling Never Ends code name )  Camp S (code name) and going out to eat at a restaurant East Side Mariana's  (code name) or in this case Monty's (code name) and we start off with $100 in Cash and are suppose to use it through out the week.  But as you will see stuff didn't go as planned for us.     There were 10 campers, 3 wheelchair users and 8 non-wheelchair users.  Beside myself there were 3 other people from my first camp 2 wheelchair users (guys) and Trina.   (But seriously I should have gotten the message from Day 1 most of the week was going to not go smoothly with no goal sheet in the folder we get).  Monday July 6 I got up and got ready and went downstairs to eat breakfast.  Dad drove me over to the campus and Mom and I waited with some other people for most people to get there. There is once again a new staff member (Susana) and this one is new to the Camp so in that sense the last day was going to be disorganized.  The friends "adults" if the an adult was with them went up stairs to get the campers there settled in before leaving.  I have no roommate once again this year but not because she's in the hospital    Then we settled down to meal plan we got: Pizza, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Garlic bread, Caesar Salad, Cold deli sandwiches,  Tacos,  Kraft Dinner,  hot dogs and burgers,  and Grilled cheese sandwiches.  As well as snacks and drinks   We didn't have time to plan activities so after a quick lunch we brought from home and put lunch stuff in our rooms we went shopping.  To get to the bus stop instead of going through the building with the A/C we instead went all the way around the building and around the bus loop to get to the bus stop and we had to go to the far side of the bus loop and  for most of the walk it's in the sun, and I'm a pale so I burn easily.  So I wasn't too happy about that.   Susana didn't know what stop we were going to get off at, so when we're outside the DQ that's in the same plaza as the Grocery store we need to shop at so I had to tell her when we got there.   We got the stuff in our lists  I was with the new kid-Alex, and I don't know who was worse, him or  Skye last year who never stopped complaining. At least Skye wasn't in this group but Alex did complain a lot.   But let's do one thing at a time.   Went back to the campus and then got our  bins, and took them downstairs to the community kitchen.   I did notice the public  bathrooms outside the community kitchen had their own door openers and the one which caused so much problems last year was on the correct side with the trash room.   We were suppose to have Caesar salad with Pizza but had no salad dressing.   I helped with cooking by cutting up some peppers and then after we cleaned our plates -we did activity planning,  things people wanted to do: bowing, movies,  eating out at a restaurant.  So the plan was:  Tuesday morning-dental people doing community outreach, Tuesday night, movies,  Wednesday morning a walk and painting-wish I could show you the picture of my painting),  Wed afternoon, at the Police station community outreach presentation,   Wed evening was pre-booked Camp S (for swimming and S'mores), Thursday morning-another presentation healthy relationships and boundaries , and in the afternoon we're suppose to play a baseball game-which I didn't get to do last year either, and then go out to eat at East Side Mariana's.  And then on Friday morning Bowling at Bowling Never Ends alley followed by DQ in the afternoon b4 friends' adults got there.  We then did our nightly routine, and then tried to watch a movie in one of the study rooms.  Unfortunely people were talking and it was really heard to hear the movie over it.  At least it was The Lion King and I helped myself to some chips we got out.   I then went to bed, after I had already set my alarm for 7am (we had to be ready to go down to  breakfast at 8am)
