ANSWER FROM ROSE F
Our financial resources that permit us to travel, be mobile outside the home for activities like shopping, errands, socializing. Friends and family are a resource. Our cognitive and physical abilities are resources. A kitchen is a resource that gives us the opportunity to fix our own meals, entertain, do dishes, set the table, do laundry, clean. Most homes have computers, and that can allow for endless hours of activities and connections with others. Transportation enables most of us to go where we want to when we want to. So the community at large is a resource and events taking place in that community. We manage our own schedules and calendars. We can pretty much do what we want when we want, including eating, bathing, sleeping, when to get up, when to go to bed when and what we eat. The greater community is a resource, because people are living in the community! Community Life!! So relationships, freedom and choice are mechanisms and resources to our ability to be active as we choose. And in the community, we are more apt to have family, neighbors and friends drop by, offer to assist, etc. Once you are living in a residential setting, people feel you are taken care of and not as apt to visit or offer assistance.

ANSWER FROM ARLENE G I'm tempted to answer "everything." The world is jam-packed with ideas, relationships and materials, many of them free for the taking. I don't know how to cram this abundance into a list of resources and mechanisms, but a few free or inexpensive things to access that come easily to mind are: nature, public libraries, community centers, oral histories and storytelling, making your own music, dancing and making new clothes or new objects from old ones.
