My Fun List

Based on my friend Kaylyn's recommendation, I picked up the book The Happiness Project this week, and am about halfway through it. There have been a lot of pieces here and there have really stood out to me (I'm sure you'll hear more about this in the next couple of weeks), but the one chapter I just read just begged to be written about. The chapter is titled "Be Serious About Play," which if you've ever read my blog, fits. I think playing and having fun is a huge part of your overall happiness, hence the quote my blog is based on.

In the middle of the chapter she talks about her goal to find more fun in her life. After reading it it got me thinking about the things I find truly fun. Here are the things I immediately put on my fun list, but I'm going to post this in my sidebar and continue to add to it as I find the things I do for the pure fun of them. Maybe if I remind myself of them, they won't get pushed behind the must-do's so often. What's on your fun list?

• Writing in my journal
• Playing the piano and singing or just singing
• Playing volleyball or racquetball
• Playing games (all sorts) with my family
• Getting lost in a good book
• Solving mysteries/finding answers to problems
• Playing host/planning things/seeing other people have a good time
• Girl's nights full of good conversation or just any conversation
