Observations and blogs
Don’t forget to have fun I forgot. I couldn’t name what felt light. Couldn’t tell you anything that I did for fun, for no other reason than it brought me joy. I could list chores and tasks. I could give you my “To Do” list. I could describe what I was getting done and when. But, fun? Not so easy, not so accessible. Things are shifting. The lightness of life is creeping gently back into my life and heart. I can do something just because I want to, because it feels easy and aligned. Because it naturally makes me smile without trying. It doesn’t have to be costly or complicated either. Cheap, free and simple is often the way. Today I played football with my dog, well chase the football for the dog. I also did some colouring in and drawing, no end result in mind. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with a friend to go for a dog walk and to put the world to rights. I’ll write what comes to mind, build what feels true. Fun can be found in conversations with friends, in favourite tv and films, in dancing solo in the kitchen, in making your space comfortable and cosy, in laughter with trusted souls and acquaintances who lighten the day. In daftness with your pets, in giggles with family, with the kids in your life. Grown up kids at heart too. In planning and creating, in cooking and crafting. In clearing out and welcoming in. In old jokes and those “you had to be there” stories shared over a cuppa. In aloneness and solitude. In letting go.
