Summer Lovin'…

I am not sure what got into me, but a week ago I started proclaiming, "This is going to be the best summer yet! It will be fun, fun, FUN!" Sounds exciting, right? And I am totally on board with the whole idea…I just have to learn how to HAVE more fun first.

Beach and umbrella

I am quite content staying busy throughout the day, perfecting any project I am working on, making to-do lists for the day or week or month, keeping things orderly around my house… The problem is I don't really make having fun a priority, and let's face it: Contentment doesn't have the same reputation as fun, does he? Life is best lived in the moment so my intention over these next 3 months is to have fun every single day. I will not lie down at night until I have had at least 10 minutes of fun that day. Maybe this sounds rather easy for you, but trust me, fun around the summer clock is a mighty TALL order for this little lady. 

John Dryden said, "We first make our habits, and then our habits make us." Well, fun is ABSOLUTELY a habit I want in my repertoire! I officially kick off our summer Friday so consider accepting this challenge. If we make fun just as essential as food, water, and sleep, it might just be the way to really live happily ever after!
