Friday and Fun are synonymous!

Happy Happy Friday!

I'm sure we have all had a long week.... I say that since most of us probably worked 40+ hours, squeezed in workouts, had family and friend obligations, and the usual household chores. By Friday night we are all ready for a little bit of FUN!

Fun may seem like an unusual "F" word to round out the group since all the other "F" words have somewhat of a serious side. Fun has no serious side. It is foot loose, fancy-free, and ready to make you laugh until your stomach hurts. In a life full of work work work, it is the play component that balances it all out. It is truly one of the most important parts of life.

**Side note: You may have noticed that Fun is in bold type.....I just feel like that is the kind of word that deserves bold type :)

I understand that life is busy and full of obligations and it may be hard to get away for something that is not a responsibility...but hey that's even more of a reason to do it! Yes, it is also important to get 7-8 hours of sleep, and I am a firm believer in this (mainly bc I am cranky and sucky at life if I do not), but you have got to live a little!!

We only live once! This is a cliche phrase used often, but it's such a good one...and so simple. No dictionary needed.  Here is what I like to follow that phrase.

We Only Live Once, so.......
- be the best you
- laugh more than you cry
- enjoy a sunrise biking with a friend
- enjoy a sunset with a loved one and a skinny girl margarita ;)
- dance
- stay out late
- sleep enough to fuel your active life
- play with your child....or just one in general
- go to that concert that cost a lil too much but it's your favorite band
- Go on vacation!! (even if it is too far, to expensive, or scary bc you never take off from work)
- Eat to fuel your body
- Have a girl's night
- Tell your special someone you love them...if you do:)

So obviously there are a bizillion gillion other fun things to do! The point of this list is, it is a list of balance. Yes, stay up too late with the girls and have a margarita and some queso....but also wake up early and do something active and fuel that activity with something nutritional another Saturday! Work hard and save your pretty pennies by not splurging on a Louis Vuitton bag, and then you will have no financial stress about that fabulous vacation you've been wanting to take.  Memories seem to last longer than any bag I've owned.....:)
*** no louis vuitton bags were harmed in the writting of this blog. I firmly believe in purchasing whatever tickles your fancy, I am just using it as an example :)

The good news is, we can do it all folks! Don't put off fun until tomorrow. If you are a planner and a friend asks you spontaneously to come to happy hour, but you feel like 'ugh well, umm, it isn't really something I planned to do!'.....Let your second thought be, what do I have to lose? And most importantly what do I have to gain from this impromptu adventure with a great pal ...who will I meet? What might I learn? Will the loads of laughter cure my work stress? The answer is, gooooooo! Just do it!

Let Go Let Flo :)

Have a FUN Friday and fabulous weekend!  Get out there and see if you can incorporate the 4 F's into your weekend!
