Dance in the Rain, Blow Bubbles, and Forget the Calories

Life’s too short for nothing but seriousness—today’s the perfect day to sprinkle in silliness and let your inner child run free.

Today, bring a little silliness into your life. Take a break and buy an ice cream cone. don’t worry about the calories. Ask them to put some jimmies on top. Instead of listening to a podcast that will tell you how to be successful listen to something that will make you laugh. If it’s raining, go out in the rain and let it soak through and do some singing while you are dancing in the rain. Pull out the Legos or buy some and create something fun. Here’s another thought, go to the market and buy a helium filled balloon tie a message onto the string and let it go. You never know who will find it. Now that’s an adventure. I think I’ll go buy a bottle of bubbles and run outside in my neighborhood scattering them all over. I wonder what my neighbors will think? I don’t care. I hope they enjoy the show. Enjoy your day. Have some fun. Laugh uncontrollably.

Here’s a limerick to make you smile:

There once was a gal in the rain,

Who twirled ‘round again and again.

She blew bubbles in air,

Made the neighbors all stare,

And giggled till she went quite insane!

Points to Ponder:

1. When was the last time you did something purely for fun without worrying about how it looked?
2. What’s one small, silly act you could do today to brighten your mood—and maybe someone else’s?
3. How might letting go of self-consciousness open the door to more joy in your everyday life?
4. Could you make a “fun list” and check one thing off each week?
5. Who in your life could use an invitation to join you in your next spontaneous adventure?
