Having Fun

Work hard, play hard. Those are words that we have all heard but for some reason as
women we do not think we have the time or energy to “play” at all. I know that this was
something I did not do. I would work all week whether it was at home with the kids or even
when I worked outside the home and I would not make time to play. I might watch a movie
with my family every now and then but I was not making time to do the things that I really
wanted to do. I have seen women that spent their entire lives, raising their children, doing
for others and even building their careers only to find that when the children are grown, or
the job ends they have forgotten the woman that they used to be. If you ask the average
mother what her hobbies are, you will probably get a long pause, and then an answer. As
busy wives and mothers we forget how important it is to take care of ourselves and to feed
our own passions in life. We need to date our husband on a regular basis, we need to go
out (or stay in) with our female friends. We need the bonds with other women so that when
we look back on our lives we not only see a happy and healthy family, but we remember the
good times and special moments with our friends. We will also be able to see that we are
not defined by our jobs, children or husbands, but that we are the unique and wonderful
women that God created us to be. If you have forgotten what you used to love to do, then
check out the list of 20 things you can do to have fun.
