Reason #7: So you can have fun! You remember what fun is don’t you? You don’t? Have you been working too hard to just keep up, that you have lost your fun? And I’m not talking passive fun like watching TV, watching a game, or surfing the net (though they have their place). I’m talking active fun – playing games, creating crafts, hiking in the woods, planning and then taking an adventure, getting together with friends to share, going to the beach, having dessert parties, getting immersed in a home project or whatever is fun for you. If it’s been awhile, you may have to go back to childhood to dig up things you consider fun. Talk with kids, they have great, outrageous ideas. Get ideas off the net or from friends. I don’t believe in creating a simpler life so we can sit there and do nothing (unless that is fun and purposeful for you.) I believe in creating a simpler life so we can do something – something fun, something meaningful, something with people, something alive. What are your reasons for wanting to create a saner, simpler life?

Kids do have outrageous ideas. Almost everything kids do when playing with their friends are fun in their part. It has a different meaning to adults though.
I went sledding today, drank hot cocoa and played a board game today. It was still fun 🙂
why is it that some people think they need to have their spouse be involved with them on everything they want to do for fun? Which brings up something I read that stated “As long as we seek the company of others in order to avoid being with ourselves, we can be true neither to those with whom we gather , nor to ourselves” I am saying this because the men I gather with sometimes complain that they go out for a nature walk or a nature drive ( to see the snow drifts) and the spouse will ask to join in and pretty soon she gets tired of his idea of fun and wants to go home or starts to complain that she wants to do something that you for sure don’t think it relaxing thing for your mind or time. Do you get my drift?
