These past few years, I had been exploring and embracing more fun and joy in my life.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through playing video games or watching k-dramas, I learned that part of it was to either level up or to complete the entire series. And I had to shift my brain into looking at them from the \u201cfun\u201d angle.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even yesterday, our son pulled out the 1000 piece puzzle of the Simpsons (there were probably 500 characters), and he wanted me to help me. And I thought, of all things.. why did you pull this out?!
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, I spent majority of my time putting the puzzle together, and it\u2019s 80% done.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I actually enjoyed it, spending time with my son, looking up each character, and locating where each piece goes.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(The other reason why I wanted to do it, is to show him that, things are difficult, and if we take each step one at a time, we can finish it).
\u200b
I am learning to embrace each moment, to say, hey I am enjoying it, not just working hard, but to live.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because this is life.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Often times, we have a tendency to focus on our to-do list, and when it\u2019s done, we may move quickly to the next thing. And we may even choose to do what we\u2019re supposed to do, rather than what we really want to do.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever found yourself pushing aside the things you want to do, because you have a thought that, it is \u201cnot productive\u201d?
\u200b
I do that often myself.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for this upcoming year, I also want to continue to bring more fun into my life.
\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I wish that for this holiday and new year, I hope that you get to embrace that part of you, so you get to experience that joy and wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
