Happiness Challenge, Month Eight (Fun): Make Time For Fun

You can choose what you do, but you can't choose what you like to do

Schedule it like a dentist appointment -- that's an interesting concept.  We actually did that; we scheduled some time this summer to take littleA to a little kids amusement park.  It was really fun!  He loved riding the rides and I loved watching him laugh.  I also love to read and scrapbook ... been having a lot of time to do those things this week ;)

Oh, this is a big one for me. I am TERRIBLE at making time for fun for myself! I just always feel the pressure of the never-ending to-do list!

My one big splurge for myself is my book groups. I read every day, but only before my nap and before bedtime. I try hard to remember to take time out for fun, but I'm not very good at it. Sounds silly, doesn't it?

That's one reason I love camping and our family vacations - it's complete leisure time, with no pressures.

Thanks for the reminder!
