“Do Something Fun Today” by Joan Y. Edwards
Do something fun today before midnight because you don’t want to wait another day without having fun!
Take five minutes for fun., right now. If you can’t do it now, plan to do something fun before you go to bed.
It is especially important to do something fun each day when you are under great stress. It releases the tension built up in your body and releases good endorphins into your system that calms your nerves. These feel-good chemicals can help ease both physical and emotional pain. If you don’t believe you can do something fun, a good cry levels your emotions and also puts good endorphins into your body to calm your mind and spirit.
What is fun? According to Bing’s search online: As a noun, fun means enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure.
It’s amazing that flowers have such a strong will to live that they grow in places people say they can’t grow or won’t grow.

Blow bubbles of happiness into the air! Some bubbles break into two bubbles. Some soar high into the air. The bubbles display colors to brighten your day!
Enjoy being you.
Be thankful for all you have! A bed to sleep in. Food to eat. People who love and care about you.
A sense of humor.
A sense of well-being even if you are not well.
A sense of calm…knowing that you are doing the best you can do with all the skills, knowledge, and beliefs that you have at this very moment. Rejoice!
What is fun for another person may not be fun for you, and that is okay. However, many people enjoy the same things as their friends.
Here are things I enjoy:
Blowing bubbles.
Watching a romantic comedy movie, like The Proposal.
