Can Hobbies Become A Job
When we think of a job we do so because we like to do something specific with our lives? We go to school after highschool for something that we enjoy and hopefully we get a job out of it. When we do things that we enjoy do we call those things hobbies? Yes we do, and with that sometimes the things that we do that we consider hobbies can become jobs or a part of life or both if that is what we want. The question is how can hobbies become jobs that we enjoy, love and that keep us sustainable? Sure most people think hobbies are just things that we do for fun, but yes some hobbies can turn into jobs too. The way that this can work is, you can sell what you are doing at home as a hobby if it is something to sell, sometimes we call that a side hustle but it is also something that helps you relax too. Writing blogs as a hobby or a job can be one thing, selling homemade bracelets, or necklaces. The list can go on and on, and the list is as follows: cooking, photography, writing, music, DIY crafts, and so many more. This list came from shopify, the way to make your hobbies a job you need to have a good marketing strategy.

Is Life Just A Mix Of Hobbies That Make It What It Is?
When we look at our lives, what do we think that they are made up of? Are they made of things that we need to do or things that we enjoy like our hobbies for instance? Life can’t always be about work and no play as we all say, or at least I have been saying that for years. Now I am not saying that we don’t need to work to make money so that we have it, but what I am saying is we can’t always work, we need to do things that help us relax and regroup from it too. What is life exactly? Have we ever really asked ourselves this, or do we just live the way we think we should? What I mean by that, is doing our jobs because we have too and trying to make sure we have some downtime too. Now I am sure some people are thinking of downtime as going on vacation and that could be one way to look at it, but you don’t always have to go places to do a hobby. I think I have actually mentioned that before, but I will again, you can stay home and do your hobbies and have just as much fun with them as if you were out somewhere. If life is just a mix of hobbies what does that even mean? That means, that you are doing things that you enjoy to do, in the way you live your life to give it purpose and meaning. That could be getting out in nature, or reading to relax or to do projects to sell at markets or to your friends that type of thing.

What Is The Meaning Of Self-Care
When we think of self-care a million different meanings come to mind don’t they? Yes they do because each person has a different meaning for what self-care means to them. Some people might say that self-care is being alone with their own thoughts, some might say it is going out with friends to lunch or dinner or even a coffee date. Some might even say self-care is getting their nails done or their hair, or even taking a bubble bath? But what exactly is the meaning of the word self-care? Self-care is the practice of taking action to improve one's own health and it is the practice of taking an active role in improving one's well- being and happiness in particular in times of stress. Now those are the definitions I found when I looked it up, this in turn means doing anything that makes you feel good is a form of self-care. Self- care is something that has always been around and it is something that will always be around considering our lives become more stressful as the years go on, at least that is what I notice.

Can Hobbies Be Done With The Weather
When you do certain hobbies during certain times of year do you have to contend with weather? If so, does that deter you from doing certain hobbies? Or does it make you want to do more hobbies? Hobbies can be done with anything, weather included you just have to believe that they can and they will be. If you have hobbies that you enjoy doing outdoors then if the weather allows you to go out and do them, you will feel amazing when you do so. The more you put the hobbies you enjoy into the weather that is happening at the time, the more vitamin D you will get and if you are someone who needs vitamin D in the winter and gets outside, when it is sunny do something fun like walking or even shovelling the snow if that needs doing. I am not very into shovelling the snow but I know that it needs to be done and I will do it just so that I get some fresh air. The more fresh air in the winter the better I feel so I try to be able to do hobbies like swinging on the swing that type of thing. I also really enjoy re-organizing my room and things in the winter.

What if the ozone layer dissolved exposing life to lethal ultraviolet rays?
The Vanishing Shield Ice crystals crunched underfoot as Dr. Lena Novak stepped from the heated core of her Arctic station, the Barneo research outpost perched on 88°N latitude. The midnight sun hung low, a bloated orange disc filtering through perpetual twilight haze. Inside the main dome, monitors glowed with satellite feeds from Nimbus-7 successors—ozone mapping arrays that had hummed reliably for decades.

Chapter 8: The Peaceful Conquest of Makkah (630 CE)
The Peaceful Conquest of Makkah (630 CE) For nearly twenty years, the city of Makkah had been a place of pain for the early Muslims.
