I think that laughter and fun are the keys to a happy, joy filled life. God wants us to rejoice and be happy. But too many times, we let the weight of the world rest on our shoulders. When you get up each morning and start to worry about the stress in your life, think about it. Address each concern and ask yourself what can I do about it today. If the answer is nothing, then don't dwell on it. God will provide a way.
I think a lot of us, me included, bring on our own stress by worrying about things we can not change and letting it eat away at us until we have no light left in our life.
So go out and have some fun. Whether it is spending time with your family or spending time with yourself. Find something FUN to do today and enjoy your day.
Here are some FUN things you might enjoy:
Get in your car and find an old country road and take about an hour drive. Do it in silence or roll down your window and tune into an oldies radio station.
Go online and find one of those sites that has cute gifts like http://www.lakeside.com/ or http://www.collectionsetc.com/ and look at the neat affordable items they have.
Fix a tall glass of tea or pop and go sit on your porch or patio and do nothing for about 15 minutes.
Read a book or inpsirational story.
Read about your favorite bible character, Abraham, Jacob, King David.
Give yourself a home manicure.
Bake a cake or make a pie.
I could list more, but you get the idea. Have a great day.
