I have a “date” tonight with my husband and I cannot wait. I’m so grateful that I lined up a sitter weeks ago so that we could both be reminded how important it is to make time for the two of us to hang out and have some fun.
Busy as we both are, me with my book, classes, etc. and he with his teaching, play production, yearbook deadlines, etc.), it’s crucial that we get out of go-go-go mode and relax regularly.
In fact, I am prioritizing fun all weekend this weekend. My focus will be on birthdays, vacations, and spiritual enrichment. But I don’t worry when we are too busy to focus on fun, because I know that as surely as spring comes around every year, something fun is always just around the corner waiting for someone to pay attention.
Maybe that’s the reason why I’m more excited about spring than ever, because I have learned how to let go of things that don’t enrich my life, so I can say a hearty “yes” to the things that do.
This weekend, I’ll say “yes” to fun. How about you?

Good for you! I needed to read this today. I too have been letting work and writing rule my life. Our house is in a bad way and we have a baby coming in the next 6 weeks – so I am logging off this weekend and am actually excited to clean and organize! Have a great weekend!
For some reason this caused the lyrics “I had fun, fun, fun until my Daddy took my T-bird away” from The Beach Boys to get stuck in my head… Oh, well, at least it made me smile. 🙂
I make having fun a way of life. Its why my life work feels so good – because it isn’t work, it is FUN… (even though I am not the biggest fan of that word, must be my puritanical upbringing!)
Are you going to paint this bench as a part of your playful fun this weekend?
Sounds like a blast!
I’m looking forward to date night tomorrow night. Ah, how I need a break from this computer screen accompanied by the sounds of children bickering. 😉
P.S. Thought you’d want to know that your site has been loading really slowly the past 3 days or so. Not sure what’s up…
Have a great time. You deserve a break and you know it.
