My strategy last week was to plan more quality family time. Every day I scheduled something special to do with my daughter (game night, baking, colouring together, play dough, etc.). I wrote our plans on the calendar and it served to remind me of the “scheduled” time we needed to spend together.
I enjoyed having focused time with her and I found I was still able to accomplish all my other tasks during the hours while she sleeps. I will continue this strategy as it seemed to work well for me and my family.
This Week’s Strategy
Living life is serious stuff. Quite often laughter and humour is lost in the everyday drama of work, relationships, deadlines and goals.
This week I am going to make it a daily practice to seek out humour and laughter several times throughout the day. I can usually find humour in my interactions with my daughter and my husband keeps me laughing too. I will also look into other sources of humour, whether it means watching a short comedic bit, reading a comic strip or visiting some of my favourite, humourous websites.
What do you do to find humour and laughter in your days? As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions. In the meantime, I would like to wish you a wonderful week.
