Way to say "Re-taken up"

[ncotton]

I am looking for a nice neat way to say "re-taken up"

basically...I want to say that I have started doing something (hobby) that I did when I was a child

I want to avoid "I have again taken up playing...."

any ideas?

resumed?

I want to be good, is that not enough?

How about "resumed"?

I have resumed playing the guitar.

That sounds to sterile, like I have stopped, for 5 minutes and started again.

I think part of the trouble you're having is that saying, "I've taken up chess" denotes that you are a neophyte but enthusiastic to become proficient.

I agree that "resumed" fails to convey all of that.

But I don't see why you're opposed to using "again". Something like, "After a 20-year hiatus, I've once again taken up Tiddlywinks."

If I were to take up horseback riding again, I would say, "I'm riding again."

I recently picked up my Weeble Wobbles for the first time since I was 6. I hope that with diligent practice I'll be able to make it to the national championships next summer."

It may be a local thing, but I've often heard 'Started-back'

I'd build on what anotherhiggins has mentioned about timing; should you use 'resumed', 'recommenced' or similar, none of the words impart any sense of the intervening period, so you'd be wise to specify it.

recommenced?

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

I've started taking horseback riding lessons again.

They're only a quarter at the mall.
