Day 2: Just For Fun

Today was quite a good day! I ended up running out to the mall with some friends, and not only did we score some good deals, but we also went to the Lancome makeup counter and got our faces done... a first for me. It was a great experience. The woman who we saw (She was kind enough to take a picture with us!!) was so nice and I learned several new things. One of the best things about this outing, though, is that it was just for fun.
I don't think people do enough things with the intent of "just for fun." I know I don't. Most of my free time is wasted thinking of something reasonable to do. Usually the simple or just because things can be the best, but are a lot of the time missed. This leads to getting stuck in a rut and ruts are bad...doesn't everyone prefer to keep moving? I get bored in ruts.
When you get out of the rut and onto the road, going with the flow, and filling some free time with "just for fun"s, and "Why not"s. Life is way more interesting and more is learned. If I had not said why not and stayed home today, I would not have gotten to learn things from the makeup artist, had a great time with my friends, and all I would have had to say for the day was hours of "Sister Wives" and Sour Patch Kids. <-- Definitely a rut kind of day.
So my challenge to you today is to not sit around, but instead pave over your ruts with Just Because's and Why Not's. I'm glad I did and I'm excited to more of these days in the future!!
