Start having fun!

As a father, I am often taken back by the free spirit and playful approach my child has just about every moment of her life. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely days and times when she's cranky but overall she's all about play, play, play.

This has me thinking a lot lately about fun in life and in our relationships. As we grow older and into adulthood and as our relationships transition through time, there is something about societal expectations or implicit false messages that tell us play and fun shouldn't be our main focus.

I think this is a bunch of crap.

You should be having fun in your relationships and throughout your entire life.

Whether it is a relationship with family or friends, a romantic partner, a job, or just life in general - you should be having fun.

Are you having fun?

Take a moment to ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly:

• Who did I last laugh with?

• When did I last play?

• Am I having fun in my relationships?
