I really don't have "free time", as a wife, mom, full-time nurse, and in distance learning college. However, I make time to do something which I'm passionate about - SINGING. Until about 2 years ago, I had never done any type of singing (other than in my car), but it was something I always wanted to be able to do. So, I started taking singing lessons. I stopped lessons almost a year ago, but I continue to practice a lot on my own. Little Drummer Boy has worked hard setting up a little "studio" for me in our spare bedroom. I absolutely love singing. It relaxes me somehow; and it's gratifying for me to be able to sing well. The voice is an instrument you always have with you, so I intend to continue improving. (A side note - my favorite genre of singing is classical Italian.)
What do you do in your free time?

I'm a portrait photographer and in my spare time I reconnect with my art by doing various 'studies." I would encourage you to choose a topic, theme, or subject and learn to photograph it in different ways. For example of the top of my head, take a candle. I would photograph it far back, close up, lit, un lit, showing the drippings down the side in natural sidelight or a puddle collecting on a table. What this enables you to do is open the pathways of your mind to different viewpoints. Just like going a different route for work in the morning causes you to create different neural pathways, this exercise will force you to look at life in a different light.
