I must be in a talkative mood tonight. I wanted to suggest other stuff like jewelry-making, constructing and/or painting dolls, dollhouses or dollhouse furniture, sculpture, fabric painting on pillow covers or clothing (Britnney Spears wannabes love painted blue jeans), mosaics, painting ceramic tiles, and refinishing flea market finds, ala Shabby Chic.
Mostly I wanted to say that while learning new skills like typing or web design is admirable, I think it's most helpful to find a hobby that involves a three-dimensional object that you can hold in your hands and admire as your own creation.
I pick up my painted boxes from time to time and I think...this is a hell of a box. I don't know if it's therapeutic, but it's satisfying.
