Finding Pleasures

Remember  once upon a time, when we all knew how to play?  Finding that place isn't easy as we get older, so we have to really concentrate on when we were young.  What was your favorite thing to do?  What was your favorite game to play?   

Remember when you were in school and you made one of those "webs" on paper?  In the center circle you might write "fun".  Then the arms or branches off that might be the answers to these questions:

What was your favorite childhood game?  Your favorite sport? Your favorite book? Comic strip?  Your favorite singer or group?  The answers to these questions can give you a lot of insight to what might be fun for you! 

What about learning something new?  If you could acquire three additional skills, what would they be -- playing piano? figure skating? taking really great photographs?   What three outrageous things would you try if no one knew about it -- belly dancing?  clowning? hot air ballooning?  What three things sound intriguing, even if you'd probably never attempt them -- stand up comedy? mountain climbing? scuba diving?  What three all-expenses-paid vacations appeal to you -- an archeological dig? a ride on the Orient Express?  Do you like working with your hands? scrapbooking? gardening? working in stained glass? creating shadow boxes?  

All of these are just ideas, you may have other thoughts.  But gathering your thoughts in one place, on paper or on a computer screen, can give you some answers, to guide you to what might be your next best place!
