Do you have the ability to have fun?

A friend of mine once said to me “You just don’t know how to have fun and do things you enjoy”.

This particular friend of mine, had a great gusto for life. She didn’t care what people thought of her, and would often wake up, run across the small lane that separated her apartment block from the sea, and jump in. I found that so strange really. For me this would take ages in preparation. Like, what if I got thirsty do I have money? or which swim suite should I wear and so it goes on.

She found delight in most things, from food, to decorating, to friendships to most anything that she found “fun”. I think she was right. I don’t know how to have fun. I think I feel I should be doing something more constructive. But when I sit and ask myself what is fun for me I go blank! Do you allow your self to have fun, do you even know what is fun for you? And how can I find out what is fun for me, and quit focusing on worrying instead!
