8. I don't go to those "senior" activities.

I got up, took a great sunrise photo, drove to my eye exam, no worse than two years ago and got a sunset on the way back, at the gas station.

Lost a bag with two donuts while taking the photos, honestly, a good thing.

Music might not be your thing, but some houseplants might help. My Mom grew lots of African violets. I took photos of them at the start of my photography hobby, now over 50 years going. Crotons are pretty and make the home look like 🌺 Hawaii! 🌺

Walks help a lot.

Listening to classical music is relaxing and good for the spirit. I play, but that started about the time that Sputnik launched. On and off, mostly off. But my parents' good idea has paid dividends for me.

Try one or more.

Photography has helped me see details around me that most people miss. Even a phone can take beautiful photos of little things that only need a closer look.
