I have a lot of hobbies and they are all equally rewarding and annoying (at times).  Mountain bike breaks down, Cameras memory card dies; bye bye vacation photos! 

.  Cat scratches up nice new carpet.  Kids taking a permanent marker to the wall.  We all have the ability to make choices for ourselves right?  If it was that bad I wouldn't keep fish, I wouldn't have a cat, I wouldn't take pictures, I wouldn't have kids, simple as that.  Through the good times and the bad, you must find some enjoyment out of it ?  If not, then simply choose to do something else, like knitting 

  Although, yarn tends to tangle so that could be annoying too..
