Volunteering
Volunteering, for me, is an essential component of living well. A good match between volunteers, organizations, and clients benefits everyone involved.
In each of my volunteer positions, I have gained as much as I have given. An excellent way to find such a rewarding match is to access the volunteer organization in your city.
If you live in Canada, you can start your search at Volunteer Canada.

I love to read and am a big supporter of organizations that make the products of culture available to everyone. Public libraries are some of my favourite haunts (and are a great alternative resource for audio-visual materials too). If you're curious, you can find out what I've been reading lately by visiting my Goodreads bookshelf.
If you're snowed in and can't leave the house, you might be interested in manybooks.net, an online warehouse of free eBooks that can be read using free ereader software.
I'm also an amateur artist and enjoy drawing. If you're curious you can peek at a few of my drawings here.
If you're not snowed in, and you're starting to get a touch of cabin fever, I highly recommend my favourite sports: cycling and climbing.
