MD - I am planning on doing some small courses next year. My first one is learning how to sew. I also need to do some sort of self discovery and learn about being just being me.
That was my reasoning exactly...I figured each new thing I tried I could either incorporate it into the new me (if it fit) or if not it was one more thing off the list of possibilities that I knew was not for me.

Funny thing, for a long time I fancied I'd turn my hand to photography but the weird thing is it was my DH who ended up changing career to prof photographer. LOL So, you never know. I really think the most valuable thing is just trying stuff and each new thing you learn something more about what really makes you tick.
