What's Fun Got to do with It?

Believe it or not I tend to be a serious person. I’m up in my head thinking a lot. Often I’m so focused on living a meaningful life that I forget to have fun.

Yes, I can get goofy and silly. (Such as my “hilarious” dad jokes that Rachael rolls her eyes at / I’m becoming fairly infamous for in our community). Often the people who love me remind me to lighten up and have some fun which is much appreciated. But I’m aware that it takes quite a bit of work for me to remember on my own.

Guilt is what stops me from allowing myself to have fun. Play feels like a privilege I haven’t earned or worked hard enough for somehow. But it’s actually a BIRTHright. We are born to play and enjoy this world. To delight in our senses. To be in joy. To enjoy.

One of the things I appreciate about dancing is the way it gets me out of my head. I find that I have the most fun when I get pulled out of my head and into the present moment, into that flow state everyone likes to talk about. 

Games, Crafts, Music, Sports, Skiing, Dancing…

So, here’s to living our birthright and having some fun!
