"What do you do for fun?"
I was asked that question at a party a couple of years ago, and, at the time, I had no answer to give.
It has stuck with me, though, and made me think quite a bit about it.
The dictionary definition of fun is "a source of pleasure, amusement, diversion".
That definition actually puts cleaning house and even ironing into the "fun" category, because, as I have been discovering lately, these things do give me great pleasure! Mind you, it's not the "doing" that is a pleasure, it's the looking round at a clean, tidy house!!
Choir is definitely fun, as is going for a walk with Megan. Sudoku is fun! I even quite enjoy helping K out with the odd word in his crossword! It's the challenge, I think, that makes it fun. Getting lost in the other world of a good book, or sitting quietly making cards is fun....the above definition shows that fun does not have to be energetic, noisy or chaotic!
So, you see, today I am grateful to be starting to recognise the myriad sources of fun in my life.
What do you do for fun???
Gratefully yours.
