Defined as...
"to work or involve oneself superficially or intermittently especially in a secondary activity or interest." This was listed 3rd with a few other definitions, mostly pertaining to water and birds.

A friend of mine recently asked me what I have been up to - other than work. Nothing came to mind aside from sleeping and reading. He told me I needed a hobby. Maybe I do; maybe I need something to keep my mind sharp and to whittle away the time. I am thinking of things in which to dabble until I find something to completely enjoy.

As a kid I dabbled in all sorts of activities. I took dance lessons, and played soccer for a year. In middle school I ran on the track team, and in high school my sport was taekwondo. Since I can remember I have been riding horses, but all of these require an instructor, or special facility of some sort.

It is time for me to find an activity which I can teach myself or pick up and put down as time allows. Maybe I should try sketching and writing again. I've considered taking up pottery again as well. Oh the mess I could make with clay, and the smell of it all! That is probably my favorite medium with which to be creative.
