April Fool's Day: 4/1

I can remember when I was young this used to be a day of fun and joking around. I don鈥檛 know if kids still observe this holiday. My kids did when they were little, and I can remember them screaming, 鈥淎pril Fools鈥�,鈥� and most of the time the joke wasn鈥檛 funny, but their joy and laughter made me laugh. I don鈥檛 know about you, but everything seems so heavy and serious lately. There are times when I am trying to relax and watch a movie and I begin to feel anxiety about relaxing and watching a movie!

Is it only me who has a hard time just being? Not in a self-enlightening way, but just goofing around, daydreaming or talking about nothingness with a friend. I don鈥檛 know if it is because I am in school or not, but I can remember the days before I was at 911爆料, and I was rather serious all the time. Where does one find joy in tumultuous times or the daily grind? When you have a tight schedule and numerous items on your to-do list, is it appropriate to decline your duties? If we do say nope, will we be gripped with anxiety and fear of getting off schedule?

Today I am not going to take myself, or my laundry lists of items and things I need to take care of too seriously. Having fun is a lost art in my life. I am not sure when I lost it, but I am determined to get it back! My fun or happiness should not be tied to grades, money or other things that society deems important. Life will keep life-ing and for me the call of the hour is to let go and have some much deserved fun and laughter.
