Monday Morning Margarita

I’ve been grinding… HARD! I finished my latest round of classes last Monday (7 down, 3 to go), but had several meetings throughout the week, so I didn’t get a chance to rest until the weekend. I was feeling pretty accomplished, and felt it was time to have some fun–and that’s when it hit me: I’ve been taking things so seriously that I completely forgot about fun. I couldn’t recall the last time I genuinely let my hair down and had some good clean (or maybe not so clean), honest to goodness fun. It seemed so absurd that I literally asked out loud, “how in the world do you forget to have fun?”

LIGHT BULB! (In my Mr. Gru from Despicable Me voice)

No matter how busy I am, or how serious things are, there’s always time for fun! Fun doesn’t mean I’m goofing off, or otherwise neglecting my responsibilities. In fact, I see it as quite the opposite. Fun helps ensure I don’t take life too seriously, or get too caught up in the so-called seriousness of things. It helps put things in the right perspective, such that I’m better able to cope in this wacky world in which we live.

So, in an ode to fun, I’m making it my business to have fun everyday, for the rest of this month–even if only for a few minutes each day. With any luck, it’ll become a habit I stick with. And, I’ll be working to make Monday Morning Margarita more fun, too! After all, who wants a dull margarita?

Have a fun and fabulous week!

I love Mondays!
