Life is full of so many different and wonderful things. There is always something new or different to try. I have always wondered how people can say they are bored or unhappy with their lives. Are you not in control of your happiness? Is it not up to you to relieve your boredom? I have found that as I get closer to retirement I keep hearing questions like: what will you do or won't you be bored?
When did we let life become full of stressful work and no play? Are we the sum of our jobs (which we may or may not like)? I think that in our quest for the "American Dream" we have forgotten how to relax and enjoy life. If you are close to retirement or not, why not start thinking about putting play back into your life.
About five years ago I started line dancing and found that it was a great way to have fun and to relax. Now when asked about taking trips or going to a play, my first response is when and where and not I am too busy. Several months ago I went on a off road adventure (in an open jeep up the side of a mountain) wth my daughters. It was awesome. When are you doing to embrace the fun in your life? If not now, then when???
Remember life can be a joyful adventure if you take the time to make it one.
