In today's busy and stressful times, some of us may be forgetting about a very important aspect of good health.
Having Fun.
It's true. Eating healthy food, getting enough exercise and sleep is all very important...But so is having a good time and enjoying life.
Tips for finding time to have fun...
1. Schedule a certain amount of time each day for doing something fun.
2. Include activities you enjoy doing on your own, as well as others that you enjoy doing with friends or family.
3. Planning activities is important, but being spontaneous is also beneficial.
When was the last time you did something just for fun?

It has been a while...
and with good reason.
I needed to get my mind and life back to a good place, and well... that part is getting there. There are still some things left to handle, but all in all... is headed in the right direction.
As for having fun, some of the adjustments made over time are not exactly what most would call fun, but I rather relish them. There will come a time when more traditionally fun things filter back in, travel and concerts and maybe even getting my arse on cross country skis or in a sailboat again... but for now, this works, this is where my life must be.
On a different note, I've not been here in a while - turtleing and writing fiction - but I like how the site is structured now.

I agree!
I couldn't agree more. I have a 5 and a 6 year old, but we are very spontaneous. If a friend calls and says hey meet us somewhere, we are there. We do have our routines, especially during the school year but, you are so right. You have to do fun things with AND without the kids in tow. I learned this spontaneity from my mother who is in her 50's...I can barely keep up with her. Even silly things with the kids like having breakfast for dinner can just be refreshing and fun knowing you're breaking some sort of rule somewhere for someone who would gasp at the thought of you feeding pancakes to your child at 6pm instead of meat and potatoes. We only live once....why waste it??
