Reflecting on... Finding the Fun

No one can say their life has always been perfect; bumps in the road are a necessary and unavoidable part of life. If you live your life trying to deny this then you are wishing it away and before you realise it, your life will have passed you by. I know that not all hardships can be fixed with a smile and a cuppa (or by dancing in the rain) but there is a lot to be said for finding the fun in things. The image quote I have used inspired me to write this, and I chose this specific one because the sky is currently letting loose like the clouds are being juiced and I just went for a twirl around in that magickal undine-sparkling liquid falling from the blackened heavens. I laughed and spun around and got completely soaked but the rush is incredible and incomparable to sitting at the window waiting for the Sun.

I realise that I have taken this quote literally in my watery activity today and there are other, similar, quotes that relay the same message; such as: Life is about the journey, not the destination”. There is a mirrored message also in the song ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’, featured in Disney’s Mary Poppins: “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun”. And to include one more quote which has become world famous and possibly even made it on to T-shirts: “Life is what you make it”! These messages are crying out to us and it’s time to listen… so, if life is what you make it, make it fun!


Enjoyment, love, laughter, fun are what make the experience of life worth it. Take that experience and run with it, expand it, feel it, live it… don’t just dance in the rain, rumba in the rain, even twerk in the rain if you are so inclined. If you can find that spark of fun in every situation then you have magick in your life and when those pesky bumps in the road show you up, you won’t care… they will be smaller, easier to avoid, or best of all jumpable in comparison. And if you are very, very lucky there may be some puddles on that road from the recent rainfall that you can jump in and create a very fun splash.
