We are barraged daily with bad news about the economy, health care, and war. Taxes will be due soon. Winter lingers. And talented singers are being ousted from American Idol. It's easy to get weighed down by the blues.
It's time to take a load off. Shed the weight of doom and gloom and have some fun. Find one thing you've been longing to do lately: go on a hike, ride a bike. Knit a scarf, or scarf down a gooey piece of cake. It doesn't have to be a Mt. Everest climb; it can be as simple as sitting quietly for an hour listening to the Brandenburg Concerto, uninterrupted. Or it can be a wild and crazy night on the town.
Whatever you choose, make sure you're in the moment while you're having fun. Notice how you feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Then, spend a few minutes writing about it. Make a list of adjectives that describe how you felt. Make a list of verbs that describe what you did. And then make a list of all the other fun things you want to do and, if you can, set up a schedule to do them.
We all need fun.
