Focus on Fun

Fun?  We can focus on fun?!  Of course, we can!  God wants for us to live our lives joyfully, but so many of us get caught up in our to do lists and forget that those lists are not the purpose of our life! We need to make time to enjoy our lives and our families–and we also need to take time to do the things that we enjoy!  Creativity is an important part of productivity, and it’s something that helps us connect to God.

So, I want you to start thinking about things you can do with your family to have fun together.  And I also want you to think about the things that YOU love to do.  We’re going to make some time for both of these this year.  After all, no one ever died wishing they had worked more!

Having fun as a family can be really simple–maybe you go for walks together or have a game night.  Maybe your family loves bowling, but you haven’t gone for years.  Or maybe you just love to hang out at the park with your friends.  Whatever you love to do as a family, you need to be doing more of.

You can also come up with creative ways to spend time together, like my 12 Days of Christmas.  I have had a blast with my kiddos over the past 10 days doing our secret missions of kindness.  It was simple and inexpensive–just required a little bit of planning on my part–but the memories will last us a lifetime.

For me, being creative is what I love to do.  If I can sew or crochet or craft something…I’m happy.  I feel like ME.  So, when I can find a way to be creative and have fun with my kids–that is amazing for me.  That’s one reason I loved doing the Creatively Fit painting marathon.

So, think about your ideal life–what activities would your family be doing together?  What things would you spend your time doing?  I’d love to hear from you!
