You are so right-on, Christa. The fun ideas are great and to add a few of my own: 1. A good pillow fight. 2. Blowing bubbles and running around popping them. 3. Rolling down a grassy hill. 4. Glow in the dark fingernail painting. 5. Sitting still with a pile of bird seed watching them land and eat with me. Children are our best teachers of play. It is the simple pleasures of life that bring the sweetest joy.

Thanks for all the great FUN tips. I am very lucky to be able to find humor in almost anything, which means I have a lot of fun with life. But I get down, too. One of the hardest things to do is force myself to work out. But once I put on the music, I am good to go. Instead of worrying about counting or time spent, I just have fun. Sometimes I work out in my underwear. I always make sure to sing loudly and involve my cats. Lots of arm flapping. I may not get the BEST workout, but it's a lot of fun.

@ Carry – Did you seriously look up “fun” and “happy” or are you just toying with me?

@ lg marge – I almost wet my pants when I saw the words “Jack Handy”. I could hear you reading the Deep Thoughts in your special voice *he he he*

@ Mandy – kids rule. Even though I don’t have a two legged kid, I understand the joy the little ones bring. Children are the embodiment of fun and they remind us to be light and playful. It’s great you have the ability to acknowledge your blessings. Spending time in thanks for what we have, and not what we don’t have, makes life a more enjoyable experience.

@ Kevin – Funny, I tell my dog Rosie, “I love you all the time” a couple times a day!!! These little moments in life, like the one you shared with your son, are simply gigglicious!

My three year old son Kellen is a constant reminder to me to not take life so seriously. One day we were in a grocery store and i was kneeling down to get something. He just hugged me and said”daddy, I love you all the time” Little did I realize that a woman was watching us. She was on the verge of tears over what she saw. I’m really blessed to have such a good hearted little boy.

Since I have become a Mommy, my life has been more fun then ever before! My daughter has a way of just knowing how to make me smile. Just being around her is fun…
The funny thing is that children think that everything is fun. I really don’t think that they know anything else, but how to have fun. The sad part is that as we grow up, all of that fun seems to slowly fade away…
My definition of fun is looking at the world through a child’s eyes. Seriously…just watch a child. The way that their eyes light up when they chase bubbles around…the enjoyment that they get from running around with their dogs…their ability to make a trip to the grocery store an adventure…
I feel blessed to be able to say that I experience true “fun” on a daily basis. My daughter has helped me to find my childhood fun again. And, I am forever in debt to her for that…
