Have Fun!

What do you like to do for fun? When I think about times when I was having fun, I realize that many were not planned. Many were not times and places where you would expect to have fun, and yet, my memories of these times are happy times when I had fun. I remember being in a supermarket with my daughter and laughing so hard that the other shoppers thought we were crazy. Another time I was on line at the DMV and started talking with the other people on line around me. Our conversation was so much fun I felt like hugging these strangers goodbye when my turn finally came up. A meeting at the end of the day when everyone seemed to be just a little bit punchy. A quiet meal that turned into a rowdy laugh fest...a long ride that turned into a sing-a-long...a phone conversation with my son that had us both laughing to tears...the list goes on and on.

When I think about it, there is fun to be had in almost every situation. Sometimes a good book, listening to music, working on a project, at the gym, a quiet walk....alone or with others. So my challenge to myself these past few weeks has been to find the fun. It's like the old Where's Waldo books...the fun is there, I just have to find it. Sometimes it's easier than others, but if I trust its there, I'll be able to find it. Life has been a little challenging lately but the more I look for the fun, the easier it is to find. The more I look for fun, the easier the challenges are to deal with.

So today my post is short and sweet...look for the fun in everything you do. Make it a priority...life is so much more enjoyable when sprinkled with fun.
