For those who are thinking of what to do to fill up their time, I've found plenty of free or low cost things to do in my small city. For instance, yesterday, I took a three-hour free creative writing workshop offered by a college professor at the public library. Before that, I took pictures with my photography club. After that, I rehearsed with the community theater that I'm involved with. Then, I went to a birthday party for a friend.

Today, I went to meetings with my spiritual group, a peace organization, and rehearsed again with my community theater. I may work on my garden, but I'm almost out of energy to do more today.

This week, I'm supposed to start taking a $60 six-week drawing course at a community center. I haven't taken an art course since middle school.

I've made lots of new friends of all ages -- including young adults -- by doing these activities, and I've found that my problem is prioritizing what I want to do, not finding things to do that interest me.
