Too Much Trouble To Have A Little Fun?
I recently have started doing something that I haven’t done in 25 years: play baseball. There is an over 35 league (I’m plenty over that), that a friend of mine has been in, and I happened to see him one day at a park, playing a game. My very first reaction was excitement. “Wow, that looks like a lot of fun, I really miss playing ball!”
So we got to talking, and he invited me on to the team to play when they started up again. Sounded awesome. But then, as can often happen within our strange little human brains, we start THINKING. “Hmmm, maybe I shouldn’t be doing this, I should be doing things more important, I don’t have time for this, what if I totally embarrass myself, get hurt, hurt someone else, get sunstroke, put out an eye….” AAAHHHH!!!!
I immediately tried to talk myself out of this. Something that was going to bring me joy, it was going to be sheer fun, not really take up much of my time (once a week for a couple hours), and here I was giving myself every excuse why I COULDN’T and SHOULDN’T do it. Sounds kind of insane, right? Yup. Totally insane.
So, once I took a hold of my sanity, I realized that I needed to do this. I needed to do something just for the sheer fun of it. After all, like attracts like, according to the Law of Attraction, so if I had some fun, then I would naturally attract more fun and joy into my life. And who doesn’t need some more of that? There was really no good reason why I shouldn’t do this.
So I am doing it. We had a practice the other day, and the only collateral damage was a few balls thrown into the fence, and a few sore muscles. (okay, a LOT of sore muscles). But it was a BLAST. Our first game is this Sunday. Wish me luck! Oh, and go have some fun yourself. No excuses!
Here’s to your joy and excitement,
