Having Fun

When was the last time you had fun? I mean real fun that allowed you to let your hair down, be yourself and laughed till you cried, maybe?

I can't remember when was the last time I had uninhibited fun. Life has not been really fun for me ever since I finished my studies and became an 'adult'. Perhaps it is due to the Melancholy side of me which makes me take things more seriously, whether the issue deserves it or not.

You know what they say, "all work and no play makes Jane a dull girl" and I honestly believe that's what I've become. I've lost my sense of fun, to the extend that I tell my children, "you want to have fun, go to papa, don't come to me."

But that's not what life's meant to be is it? When Jesus said, "I've come so that they (read: those who believe in Him) may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10b), I believe He meant to give us a life that is rich with meaning and purpose. I believe this means a life that is rich with laughter and fun too.

So from now on I'm going to look for fun, and have it, within limits of course. I'm going to smile and laugh and who cares if it gives me wrinkles and laugh lines. Join me today!
