Week #90 – Summer Fun List! (37 random ways to have fun this summer)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year this time<\/a>\u00a0— I asked you to share your ideas and plans for FUN\u00a0over the summer.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

And for TWELVE WEEKS we counted down different ways to enjoy ourselves. \u00a0Because while adults are usually busy planning their kids’ summer fun — they often overlook their own!<\/p>\n

And\u00a0I want to make sure\u00a0YOU have fun again this summer!<\/p>\n

So I’m recapping the final list…37 random suggestions for FUN during the summer months. \u00a0And I’ll\u00a0say it again: I know you have things to do, to see, to get done. \u00a0Maybe you’re even planning things so that your kids\/family\/friends\/coworkers are sure to have\u00a0a good time.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to make plans for YOU to have fun, too!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because as I said last year: the best way to teach others to have fun — is to have fun yourself!<\/p>\n

Your Happyness Challenge for the Week Ahead:\u00a0<\/strong>How do you plan to have FUN this summer? \u00a0<\/strong>We have a full THIRTEEN WEEKS ahead of us! \u00a0And while I know some of you may groan at the reminder that summer is limited…the seasons serve to remind us that time is fleeting. \u00a0Not just with weather…but with life. \u00a0We never know what tomorrow, or next month, or next year will bring. \u00a0Don’t let it pass you by! \u00a0Make this the summer you take that trip, cross off that bucket list item, make that leap, try that thing, get serious about that project, or just get plain silly! \u00a0Peruse this list, brainstorm with the family, share it with friends! \u00a0And report back — because it’s no fun to keep all the fun to yourself! \u00a0\ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
