What was the last thing you did for play or fun?
I’ve really lost that fun gene. I’m either no fun or too much fun. Either way, I think it’s time for more of the latter. The truth is I am in a stage of re-discovery. I’m Slowly learning what I like and don’t like. I have my staple activities like movies, art and yoga but I can see travel in my future.
Lately I’ve been looking at various yoga retreats and artist residencies in an attempt to mix work with pleasure. These are so cost effective it’s hard not to pass up.
In this season of my life I can say it’s beautiful but it’s also bittersweet. I lost a lot in my pursuit of happiness and regaining of myself. But, it had to be done. Now that all that’s left behind me is a bunch of foreign land it’s time to rebuild. It’s time to think about what kind of life I want to build this go round. I want to build something beautiful.
I want creativity, colors, and the wonders of nature and enterprise. Something that is an accurate reflection of who I truly am. For this, I am willing to take time. But, I can see some fun along the way.
Believe it or not, there is nothing in my life that hasn’t been foreshadowed. It just always looks different when it arrives. I had a dream last night that left me with a very warm feeling. The best is yet to come. (No rush though) I never have just stopped and smelled the roses of life and this past year I have done that. When you slow down, take a back seat, or a lesser job like I did —you can see what you want. You can also see what you don’t want. Knowing what you want and don’t want is new territory for me. It’s scary, but I won’t compromise it. It’s been the best gift to myself.
I’ve recently switched my news watching to comedy shows. I like to laugh. Laughing and being lighthearted is something that has fallen by the wayside and I am on a serious mission to recover it.
If you are having fun, I would love some tips. What are some cool things you’d recommend?
