On a "just me" level, golf. Like PowerOfCheese, I love playing & practicing. I know I have it in me to play at a very high level, but to get there takes a strong commitment. With so many (good) things occupying my time, it makes it difficult to pursue. But, the Lovely Mrs. Schro knows how I feel about the game and is very supportive of my endeavors.

Here, here. I second that.

My passion in life is...........life itself. Be passionate about the life you are lucky enough to have and every day will bring good things.

I also agree with this. Today is a gift, tomorrow is not a given.

Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

• Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
• Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
• Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

God, family, and future family.  I'm looking forward to having kids.

For hobby, it is music and audio engineering.  Nothing excites me more than the creative freedom you have with recording.  Especially when 1 person is capable of creating a 10 piece band.  Sound/music is such an emotional medium for me, because it's not just something you hear, but feel as well.

Family, friends, valuing my life, realising it is precious, and last but not least endeavouring not to let the demons take control again.

I suffered from depression which left me not caring about myself, those around me, and stopped me from wanting to get out bed. When I woke in the morning the first thing I thought of was "How long till I can go to sleep again?" When treating my depression doctors asked if I had problems sleeping but sleep was my "out". When I was asleep was the only time I didnt have the dark curtain enshrouding me.

Phew!!!! Not often I talk of this. I dont want to go back there and I have to work at it every single day.

To anyone suffering depression, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I am proof of that.

Thanks for listenin guys  ;)

How did you get over your depression?  I get sad a lot, but I don't think I am clinically depressed.  I'm more like depressed over stupid stuff like confidence issues, girls, not liking myself (I think I am boring), not really having friends/losing teach with them, and other things like that which gets me down.

Medication, counselling, then enrolment in a college course (I am now a full first aider and am qualified to teach and assess first aid). After the med and counselling started to work I gave myself a good kick up the ass. Now I just try to stay positive. Still have bad days, but more good than bad.

Everyday, I try to be a better husband and father than I was yesterday. 

Before I got married or even thought about being a father, music was and still is the constant in my life.  It doesn’t matter if I’m listening or making it.  Music has the power to change my mood or hold me in a trance.

In addition to my wonderful family (wife, three kids and four grand kids) my absolute passion is photography.  When I am taking photos the rest of the world takes a background position.
