I want to make a fun list--a list of all the places, people, and activities that result in fun. Too often I find that I waste time on activities are just not that enjoyable when there are lots and lots of places, people, and activities that are lots of fun.
What will the list include?
First the list will include those events that are always lots of fun. For example, every year my sister and I plan a holiday weekend that includes an overnight with our husbands, a nice dinner, and a visit to local museums or entertainment. We love that weekend--that's a keeper.
I love visiting beautiful places in nature and engaging in some kind of adventure in those places--that kind of fun takes a bit more planning, but I want to make a list of the places and activities I love the most.
Special foods are part of the list too--there are special kinds of foods that I have once or twice a year that I want to include on the list.
As for people, I want to make time for those special people in my life, and in some cases, that takes more planning than others due to time and interest.
Making a fun list can be a great activity for a family too so that everyone in the family gets to engage in those activities that they like the most. Onward.
