My favorite pastime is spending quality time with people I care about. This activity is rewarding because I enjoy the company of people I care about because we share ideas or values. Therefor, this activity creates a pleasant experience for both of us.
Spending quality time with loved ones is rewarding for me because it gives me a sense of meaning and purpose. I may share a sense of humor with them, and laughing and joking around with my loved ones is always fun.
I got to spend precious time with my family and some friends recently at my sister’s wedding. Though there was alcohol, I did not drink at all. This actually made the entire experience more rewarding because I was able to think clearly while I exchanged laughs and ideas with many of my loved ones. In retrospect, I am glad I did not drink. I had imagined this would be very difficult before the event, but my mood remained elevated throughout the event, largely due to my being able to spend quality time with my loved ones.
Another time I enjoyed a loved one’s company was when my sister (beepworld on youtube), who had lived far away for the past year, came over to my apartment this past summer to hang out. We enjoyed coffee at the coffee shop and garden a little ways down the street from my apartment complex, and then we took a long walk. I remained sober this entire time, which made the experience much better than it would have been if I were inebriated. If I had been inebriated, I would not have been able to spend quality time with her. As she was leaving, she even invited me to come out to visit her sometime, which she had not done in the past.
