Welcome to Fun Week!
Fun – An exercise or activity for amusement or recreation. Finding enjoyment and playfulness.
This week Tamara steps from behind the camera and into a blast from the past photo from her childhood. Don’t we all have photos like that? Reminders of the time when fun was easy and as simple as flopping on a brother and his friend’s back!
Yesterday we celebrated Easter in our house with the requisite visit from the rabbit. My girl was up early and so excited to find all the eggs and other treats from the bunny. #OneSmartBunny brought her two Friends Lego sets which to my delight kept her happily playing ALL DAY LONG. It was fun for me to help her as needed and just be in the room as she played out the scenarios with the little people that came with the set. Simple uncomplicated fun.
Having Fun?
by January Handl
In every person there is a child
who when invited peeks their
Innocent head out, and sees the
always opportunity to…
PLAY.
With wind in the hair,
And warm earth on the feet,
A process without an end product
In mind.
In the simple joy of doing,
In the moving state of being
Led by only the present moment
And the dance with moving
Partners
Delight blossoms, focus grows
Giggles, chuckles, guffaws and grunts
spontaneous shifts of direction
letting go
the burdens grow lighter
forgetting the self,
while feeling ever more deeply
who you really are
Yes FUN is the access to who we really are! So this week’s Bliss Initiative is to go out there have some!
What ever it is that lightens your step, delights your heart or can make you smile, I insist that this week you pursue it.
Fun is a gift you give yourself. Please gift generously!
