Retirement doesn't mean you have to stop having fun... If anything, **senior living** can mean there is more time for [more activities](http://seniors.lovetoknow.com/Ten_Hobbies_for_Retirees)! 

 

**1. Start Your Very Own Garden. **

- Gardens take a lot of work, but you'll have the satisfaction of seeing your garden grow and bloom into something wonderful!

**2. Take Cooking Classes.**

- You've been cooking for your whole life, but challenge yourself by taking it up a notch!  Take a class and cook a 5-star meal for familyand friends.

**3. Take a Painting Class. **

- Explore your creative side.  Paint a work of art to hang up in your home!

**4. Learn How to Knit. **

- Knitting is great if you want to relax while creating something beautiful.  Also, knitting could lead to some great gifts for loved ones!

**5. Volunteer for a Good Cause.**

- Volunteering opens the door to being a part of something you're passionate about.  With more time on your hands, getting involved in your community is always a plus!

**6. Embrace the Great Outdoors.**

- If you have an interest in anything wildlife, maybe learning more about different species and hiking is right up your alley.  It's a combination of good exercise and gorgeous scenery!

**7. Make Pottery.**

- Looks a bit messy... but this could be something to check off your bucket list.  It could also be a way to explore your creativity and create something magnificent!
