It's great if it does, but it can be equally as great to just have some time to ourselves. So, let's have some fun every day, right Jenny!! @Paunchiness - Sometimes fun is the "regular" fun we have - stuff we've done over and over that we enjoy. And yet, other times - it's the "new" stuff - great point! @Jenny –Good point Jenny — fun doesn’t always have to involve others.

@Paunchiness — Sometimes fun is the “regular” fun we have — stuff we’ve done over and over that we enjoy. And yet, other times — it’s the “new” stuff — great point!

There are plenty of days when I just want to walk away from what I am doing and find something fun to do! Of course what really gets me is when I have the time, I can't always remember the stuff I wanted to do that was fun. Like go and sit in a park for hours just sitting and being. I love to have fun and most of the time it's easy to find, I just need to remember that I can have fun by myself and don't always have to include others. <abbr><em>Jenny´s last blog post..<a href="http://jennytomlin.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/doing-whats-right/" rel="nofollow">Doing What’s Right</a></em></abbr> Give me fun any day!

Sometimes we just get caught up in what we're doing, and forget to "stop and have some fun". And yet, it's always good when we do...always... @Maya - Randy lived life to the fullest, right up to the end. It was a wonderful story, because it reminds us all that "fun" is important. And, that's awesome, Maya, that you are content and fulfilled with where you are in your life right now - what a great feeling! @Jennifer — Linda did say it very well!

I have watched Randy's last lecture over and over again - and I cannot believe how much fun he was having - in spite of knowing that his death was so close. But I guess death was the reason he was having so much fun. Everyone but he wept as he ended his speech. The funny thing is that I do not think I would have changed anything in my life if I knew, like Randy, that I had just a few months to live. And I am really glad I feel that way! <abbr><em>Maya´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ThinkMaya/~3/451037611/" rel="nofollow">Are you a storyteller?

Like you said, you never know when the end will come. Every day, we're one step closer to death, so we need to keep that in mind as we strive to live life to the fullest.

For some reason, I think you're doing it...already. @Evita - Sometimes we just drudge through life, doing what we're told to do. Get up, go to work, come home, go to bed -- repeat. And for what? Our moment is now. Indeed, that's all that's guaranteed. Why do you think we're afraid to live this way? I think it's tied to us not wanting to look "different", to us being afraid of stepping out of our normal-ness we've accepted, to us not wanting explore areas outside our area of comfort. Evita, this is just such an excellent point you bring up. Thank you - it's making me really think about what holds me back sometimes from having fun. And, a very happy Sunday to you too!! @Writer Dad - Randy is great isn't he - thank you Sean! @Evelyn - Where there is love, fun is usually not too far behind. Finding ways to make everyday routines fun - I love that idea Evelyn! What a great way to make the normal and mundane into something fun and enjoyable! @Jenny - Great point, there is a balance - and we sometimes have to be serious and get things done. But that must be balanced with silliness, fun, joy, laughter, etc. That is what makes life worth living. Breaking away - I did that tonight with my kids - we played a fun game we've made up - and essentially we run wild through the house. It's a game they never tire of (although I get tired playing it). There's always laughter and surprise - and it's also a game I thought they would outgrow as they've gotten older - but no - everyone still loves it! And it's because...it's FUN! And it was good for me too - to break away and get into something fun and crazy - just like you've suggested! @Monica - Well, first off, Monica, enjoy your vacation! Sometimes it is the little things that seem to add up to being the biggest annoyances. And that's a perfect time to inject some fun and craziness into the mix - you're doing it Monica... @Bobbi — I need to remember it too, Bobbi — live life, have fun, play!

I used to get very buried in the "I gottas" and now I am finding a nice balance between getting things done and making sure I have time to just be silly with my kids or do something else I enjoy.
