Gratituesday 7.14.20 - In Search of Fun

I really don’t have hobbies. The things that interested me became careers. So, as we’re stuck at home, it’s been a challenge for me to find fun. Yes, I’m fully aware this is a first world problem, but as we know all work and no play makes us pretty dull. Usually when I’m in search of fun I head out into the world and try a new restaurant or visit a museum. Unfortunately, those are not options during COVID. And while I'd like to support my local restaurants, I really don't want to bring food in due to the excessive plastic #plasticfreejuly

Therefore I’m going to have to dig deeper. As adults we may not often consider play. But over the next month, I am going to prioritize it. Heck, I schedule work, why shouldn't I also have play on my calendar?

So, I'd love your assistance with some ideas and inspiration. What do you do for fun? As we shelter in place, can you recommend any interesting things you've done? I'm looking for things other than baking bread and watching Netflix - and if they're reasonably priced, all the better!

In the meantime, I reflect. Care to join me and share your GRATITUDES, VICTORIES & DESIRES? I'll go first! You can add yours in the comment section below.
