Have Fun/Enjoy Life

Hello beautiful souls 💖

Growth and personal development are topics that we speak of often. But…what about fun? It seems that as we age, we leave the concepts of fun and adventure behind us as if they are only reserved for the young.

As we grow into adulthood and load more responsibility onto our plates, we find that we have no room for fun.

Adulthood is about being serious and taking care of business. Or, at least that’s what I thought. So, I went about the business of adulting… I took care of my spouse, our home, our children. I paid bills, the mortgage, and such. My life became a list of obligations instead of a gift to enjoy. I was made aware of “my job” as a female adult and I didn’t deviate from that.

Then one day; about seven months ago my life changed and I had suddenly lost most of the things that I was so serious about. I was left alone to piece my life back together.

For quite a while, all I did was work and go home. I worked, I went home, I paid bills, and went to sleep so that I could go to work again.

My morale began to sink. I was grateful for my job and the ability to provide for myself and my little family. But there was something missing.

It was fun. Fun was missing!

I began to make friends at work and they started inviting me out. And there it was. The fun that I had been missing.

It took me a while but I finally realized that life is about enjoyment and love. All the things that we do should be based on enjoyment and love because that’s the beauty and purpose of the human experience.

I know that every minute of every day can’t be fun, but we all deserve to enjoy life. Remember to schedule some fun into your life. Don’t get too busy to smile, laugh, and make memories.

Until next time beautiful souls
