When I do that I feel good about myself. I suppose that is important too.Barbara Torrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-26265929974183672972017-01-28T10:48:41.879-08:002017-01-28T10:48:41.879-08:00For me too...an early life of work, children and w...For me too...an early life of work, children and worry was not much fun.

Am I doing things that make me get out of myself and into others. Reading and studying are necessary parts of continuing to grow as a human being, not always fun but certainly satisfying. Loving others instead of yourself; again satisfying but not always fun. Recycling to make the world a little greener,... you get the idea.<br><br>I just see fun is about me and satisfaction is about others. But that is probably just my weird view of life. :)RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10459292685594810388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-9284259833030056362017-01-27T20:55:09.257-08:002017-01-27T20:55:09.257-08:00Dancing is the most fun of all.

Or playing charades with uninhibited friends. Or playing Mad Gabs with my college-age granddaughters. I have at times laughed until my stomach ached playing games with the young folks. I do have fun but not as often as I would like to. Good question. It made me think of things I want to do more often.

And yes, in that case fun is really important.
