Living a life of fun

As parents and adults we so often get caught up in this world of 'grown up' business that we sometimes forget how to have pure child like fun.  The kind of fun that comes from a state of pure being not the kind of fun that comes from doing a specific kind of activity or having to want to be in a specific mood for fun....  No, it is the kind of fun you see in small children who are so busy being fully present in their lives and their bodies that the glow of fun just radiates from them just because they are alive.  When you look at a child  and you see the delight that flashes across his/her eyes when they discover that they can catch a ball or that jumping on moms couch is soooo much fun. That look of amazement in their eyes with the weird expression on their faces when they discover that water comes out of the tap when they turn the knob.....the squeals you here when they run and jump through the water sprayer on the lawn.....watching them watch the same hat or scarf trick for the 12th time and still finding it so amazing and showing their amazement and fun by rendering the most infectious laughter where you actually can't help but chuckling along.

When we are children we experience  everything with pure delight.  We experience it with a mindset of living in the moment, enjoying it and finding the fun in every and each situation.  You do not need to dress up and spend lots of money to have fun but somehow as adults we forget how much fun the simple things actually can be......  We need to remember and reconnect with that part of ourselves that knows how to have fun in every thing we do.  We need to take ourselves back in time and remember the things we use to love when we were children.  We need to find that inner child that we locked away somewhere inside and give it its voice again. Think back at the things that use to make you giggle and laugh with delight or the things that made you burst out into endless laughter where it was difficult to sit up or stand up straight because your whole body was partaking in this moment of fantastic joy and fun fulfillment.  That feeling of pure fun lives in you, you just have to realize that you have to call it back into your life and then never let go of it again

When we live in the moment and for the moment pure fun happens because we are fully engaged with ourselves and our surroundings.  Do you remember that natural, organic real pleasure that use to jump out from your belly engaging your whole body with enjoyment where it feels like your mouth is pulling apart at the seams and your toes want to jiggle with joy?  Do you remember that warm feeling in your soul after a outbreak of laughter were you feel that you are the king of the world?  That feeling of pure pleasure......  We need to understand and realize that pure fun is not just something that is given to us, it is something we allow for ourselves to experience by living in the moment.  We have to find the fun in everything around us and open up this glorious thing called FUN like a child at Christmas with his/her gifts under the tree......ripping of the bows of our own mind restraints that are choking fun out of our lives and tearing apart the wrapping paper we have put around it  because we can not and will not wait any longer to have it in our lives again.
