A friend of ours, Dr. Mary, is a General Practitioner who has patients of all ages and life stages in her medical practice.\u00a0Mary recently shared stories about some elderly patients who inspire her<\/strong>, like the 99-year old who still drives to appointments or the 80-something great-grandma who just completed a marathon. These are people who, despite age and sometimes disability, carry a positive attitude about life and learned long ago to take everything in stride.<\/p>\n

Mary grew more reflective as she shared a story about a long-time patient, 96 years old, whom she recently met for lunch.\u00a0 In the course of conversation she asked him, \u201cso, what do you know about life, Charlie?\u201d Charlie Watson, by the way, had a long and successful career as an accountant and business owner. He still played golf regularly, belonged to the local country club, stayed connected to his family, and was on sound financial footing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How did he respond to her question? He looked at Mary and said,\u201cI should have had more fun.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I should have had more fun<\/h2>\n

That\u2019s an interesting perspective from a man who spent the last 25 years in \u201cretirement,\u201d eh? For the rest of the evening, we talked a lot about what Mary now refers to as\u00a0\u201cCharlie Watson\u2019s Rule.\u201d<\/em>Our little group is comprised of four couples, all in our mid-50s and just about ready to have a \u201cfun\u201d life beyond our kids and paying college tuition\u2026except that one of our members just learned that she had a growth in her brain, and two weeks ago underwent surgery to remove a tumor.**<\/a><\/p>\n

So, when is the right time to start having more fun in life? Now. Right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How often do we delay fun because we are too busy, too serious, too involved in \u2018important stuff\u2019 to take the time? Ugh!\u00a0We\u2019ve bought into the notion that \u2018after this is over\u2026I\u2019ll be happy.\u2019 So we make our happiness and our fun dependent on some event occurring,<\/strong>\u00a0e.g.\u00a0I know I\u2019ll be happy when\u2026<\/em>I get promoted, I get married, I get divorced, I have kids, the kids move out, we get the house remodeled, I finish school, we get a bigger house, I lose weight, and on and on.<\/p>\n

Focus on Today<\/h2>\n

\"Paint<\/strong>Happiness Principle #12 says,\u00a0Focus on Today: Waiting for something to happen \u201ctomorrow\u201d in order for you to be happy is like watching yourself in the mirror and saying, \u201cYou go first.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So don\u2019t wait until you\u2019re too old, too sick, facing your mortality, or trapped by crisis to have some fun.<\/p>\n

Here are 25 simple (and inexpensive) ideas for having more fun, right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Paint your front door<\/strong>. We painted ours brilliant green, just for fun.<\/li>\n
  2. Go shopping in the house.<\/strong>\u00a0When you rearrange items (furniture, photos, decorations) from one room to another, you create a feeling of freshness in your home.<\/li>\n
  3. Cluster things.<\/strong>\u00a0Build groups of like items (e.g. candles, vases, photos) to create appealing visual spaces in your home. Cluster in odd numbers for maximum interest.<\/li>\n
  4. Put fresh flowers on the table.<\/strong>\u00a0When we shop at the West Side Market in Cleveland, I take my final $$ (usually 5-15 bucks) and splurge on the biggest bouquet I can afford.<\/li>\n
  5. Plant spring bulbs.<\/strong>\u00a0Pick up a bag of daffodils or hyacinths and plant them where you\u2019ll be able to see them from a window next March as the snows melt.<\/li>\n
  6. Eat your dinner outside.\u00a0<\/strong>Whatever you cook for dinner, it will taste just a tiny bit better when you take your plate(s) outside onto your deck, balcony, or front porch.<\/li>\n
  7. Watch the sun set.<\/strong>\u00a0Or the leaves fall, or the rain drop, or the birds gather at your neighbor\u2019s feeder. It\u2019s a lot more calming than anything on TV. And more real!<\/li>\n
  8. Once a month, have a \u2018no electronics\u2019 night.<\/strong>\u00a0Or even once a week. If it has a plug or battery, turn it off for a few hours and enjoy the quiet. You can even use the space to read or have conversation.<\/li>\n
  9. Let the kids cook.<\/strong>\u00a0Or at least help. Cooking can be a family affair that builds community, teaches kids about responsibility, and maybe nurtures a future chef!<\/li>\n
  10. Eat dinner together.<\/strong>\u00a0Regardless of who cooks, sit down with your spouse, kids, kitten, dog, or visiting friend. Have your dinner in the company of others and you\u2019ll find you eat more slowly.<\/li>\n
  11. De-stress your holidays.<\/strong>\u00a0Draw names from a hat and set a budget. Everyone will get a gift, but the focus will shift from \u201cstuff\u201d to family, which is a gift that gives all year.<\/li>\n
  12. Start a dinner club.<\/strong>\u00a0Get a group of four or more friends together and start a quarterly (or even monthly) rotation. You can try new restaurants, or cook for each other at home.<\/li>\n
  13. Watch an old movie.<\/strong>\u00a0Pop some corn and pop in a classic film on DVD. Sing out loud to\u00a0The Wizard of Oz<\/em>, or laugh out loud to\u00a0Some Like It Hot<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  14. Play with a child.<\/strong>\u00a0Sit down on the floor and live in their world. Wear a funny hat, Have tea with an imaginary friend. Give voice to a stuffed rabbit. Hide under a table and pretend no one knows you\u2019re there. Imagine\u2026<\/li>\n
  15. \"RentStep out of your fitness routine.<\/strong>\u00a0Once a month, do something Different. Try a new class (Zumba, Hula Hoop, Tabata, Spinning) or a new time of day, a new speed, or a new piece of equipment.<\/li>\n
  16. Rent a scooter.<\/strong>\u00a0On our recent trip to the Mexican Riviera, we abandoned all reason and set out over cobbled, narrow streets, dodging taxis and otherwise risking life and limb. What fun!<\/li>\n
  17. Complete a goal.<\/strong>\u00a0Finish something you\u2019ve delayed for awhile. Notice how good it feels.<\/li>\n
  18. Get certified.<\/strong>\u00a0Take a class; learn something new. My 80+ year old father-in-law attends seminars on Film History at the local community college. I completed my SCUBA certification at age 53. Our brains love to be stimulated!<\/li>\n
  19. Make a gift.<\/strong>\u00a0You know how \u2018cool\u2019 it is to receive a homemade card or gift? It feels even better when you\u2019re the giver. Design and print your holiday cards next year. Use your sewing, painting, woodcraft, or writing skills to create what goes in that gift box.<\/li>\n
  20. Volunteer.<\/strong>\u00a0Give of your time \u2013 it makes you feel good to do good, and you can\u2019t put a price on that kind of joy.<\/li>\n
  21. Look for beauty in common places.<\/strong>\u00a0Look up at the clouds. Watch a sunset from your own backyard. Admire wildflowers growing along the path or freeway. Beauty is all around you if you care to look.<\/li>\n
  22. Read the comics page.<\/strong>\u00a0Or open that joke email from a friend. Practice laughter today.<\/li>\n
  23. Wear purple. Or Red.\u00a0<\/strong>Or leather, or some other color, accessory, or item of clothing that\u2019s out of character for you. Be Bold for a day.<\/li>\n
  24. For one day, Smile at Everyone.<\/strong>\u00a0Make eye contact and smile at everyone you meet for a day or a week. Pay attention to what happens \u2013 it\u2019s really quite amazing!<\/li>\n
  25. Remember Charlie Watson\u2019s Rule<\/strong>. I remember one day last fall, when Cheryl and I were offered tickets to the Notre Dame-Boston College football in South Bend (we\u2019re big Irish fans!). We assessed that we \u2018shouldn\u2019t\u2019 go because we just came back from a vacation, and we don\u2019t really \u2018need\u2019 to go to a game. So we were about to turn down the offer, when Cheryl came into the room, looked at me and said, \u201cRemember Charlie Watson\u2019s Rule.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thank you, Charlie, for reminding us to live our life fully, right now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n

    ** She has since fully recovered, thank you!<\/p>\n
