Great post, I genuinely appreciate it. I will definitely be doing some hobbitmaxxing this year, I have just started today without noticing just by doing bird watching (grandpa hobby fr)

Oh, yes. You get it, and that’s the perfect start! Bird watching is an excellent grandpa/ma hobby. It’s also one that you accidentally take up, in my experience, hehehe.

This is how I try to live my life!! Appreciating all the small marvels of the world , seeing the depth and history in everything. Feeling child like wonder and silliness. I love walking in alleys/twittens!!

Childlike wonder and silliness are virtues, in my opinion! It's so nice to hear that other people are already doing this. Oh, and you've taught me a new word; "twitten." What a gift! I love little in-between spaces and overlooked paths like that. Thank you!

A brilliant take on the analog trend that really focuses on its essence and deviates away from consumerism. I adored this!

This was an incredible read, and almost serendipitous in timing. I'm sending this to my partner, because we just started The Hobbit for our couple's book club! I have been trying to put into words my thoughts about the recent analog trend, getting more steps in, slowing down, and also explain why I'm highlighting every time Bilbo misses his kettle. Turns out this article was the answer, I'm excited to read more of your thoughts! This is the life!
