On a Sunday, or any day of the week, if you have a few hours to have a good time, there are many possibilities to entertain yourself. If money is an issue, find things to do that are free or require little money to complete. Finding property sales in your favorite neighborhood is always fun, try to negotiate a better price than the seller is asking, especially if there are a lot of really interesting antiques or colorful dishes, or my favorite: English tea sets! Do something fun or adventurous, maybe you won’t climb Mount Everest, although you can ride a roller coaster, buy a Mickey Mouse toaster, or eat ice cream with the family.
We all have responsibilities that demand our time and effort, our daily routines can be stressful, so when you have time to relax, doodle a dog, write a poem or sing a song out loud, for all to hear! That’s very daring, but also very liberating. I enjoy reading or experiencing the artwork of creative people. Creative artwork, poetry, or anything creative is a wonderful thing to experience in all art forms.
Your approach to life doesn’t always have to be serious. It is important to nurture the whimsical side of your mind by releasing the enjoyment or decompressing it. In my house, we like to sing and dance improvised. Making up songs, with our own lyrics, and some really embarrassing dance moves; NEVER look through my windows, NEVER please, you can laugh so hard you will cry over the foolishness and I will shudder in shame!
Having fun is one of life’s blessings that stimulates relief and relieves tension, try swimming or any sport, enjoy swimming, in the company of your children, spouse, family or friends. A fun, sunny Sunday is a great way to relax by exercising or reading a good book or watching a classic movie or, let’s face it, taking time to watch the fun movies we haven’t seen before. Popcorn at 10:00 am and eat ice cream in the formal living room, that’s always fun for me. I’m an older adult and I’m still scared by the prospect of dropping ice cream or popcorn on the ground. I usually vacuum the next day, in case I miss a pimple or two. The funny thing: the only one yelling at someone for crumbs on the floor is me!
How about visiting your jeweler and trying on some old earrings? Or are you looking in your closet and trying on blue jeans or formal wear? Sounds fun to me! A fun day has a purpose – fun things you do for fun! Window shopping is fun, you can see the latest trends and fashions before buying anything. Shopping is a fun activity, looking in my closet I decided it was time to buy blue jeans.
Feed the silly and whimsical side of your mind, like eating candy; We all know that candy isn’t a necessity, although a candy bar or gum every once in a while is a tasty treat and a fun way to make yourself a little gift on a fun day. Find your own way to have fun reading your favorite magazine, buying yourself a gift, or enjoying the new things you do when life gives you the time and ability to have a fun day.
