The first few hobbies were forced on me. Piano lessons at 6, my sisters had the same teacher, so I'd heard those songs over and over. After a couple years, they realized I couldn't really read music. The new teacher made me sight read more but also exercised playing by ear and introduced me to guitar. I took up trumpet at 10 in exchange for ending the piano lessons. All three became habits I can't kick.
Hunting with dad became backpacking the hills, once I was on my own. Fishing Louisiana backwaters with grandparents became canoeing rivers and sometimes fishing. I need it to relax and recharge.
The hobby I found and chose was reading. Newspapers, magazines, library books, encyclopedias, whatever was handy.
