Lifelong Pursuit of Fun List: Time To Start Planning for 2016
Every morning a writing prompt from The Daily Page greets me in my mailbox. The intent is to encourage me to write something, anything each day. Ostensibly the encouragement is for this blog, but 9 times out of 10? I scribble something in my journal instead.
But today we have a winner! A topic that seems blog-worthy and quite timely as 2015 begins its wind down.
Where do you want to spend more time?
Well, that is a huge can of worms. Wait. I don’t mean that I want to spend time in a can… with worms… I mean that I want to spend time everywhere! Except work.
I guess I’d better get crackin’ on adding the bookmarks I’ve saved and notes I’ve scrawled on scraps of paper to my to-do list. That post will be coming up soon. As will a recap of things I managed to pull off in 2015. Many of which were a surprise to me.
What about you? Where do you want to spend more time? Have you got some curiosity that you hope to satisfy burning you up inside? Perhaps you want to spend some time “nowhere.” That is a worthwhile pursuit.
For the past couple of years I’ve earmarked a few things on my Lifelong Pursuit of Fun List and made loose goals (more like hopes) to try to see them before the calendar rolls over. Sometimes I am able to pull them off, sometimes not. The best part about that? It doesn’t matter. The wishin’ is just as important.

You’re right that thinking about our adventures is fun, too. Research shows that people get as much pleasure from anticipating trips as being on them. Plus, we all love to reminisce about past fun. I haven’t started thinking about 2016 yet but you’re nudging me in that direction.
I’ll be keeping an eye out for one of your big fantasy shoots 😀
Thanks for sharing “The Daily Page” – looks like a neat tool that I might try out! I love planning trips, whether for a few hours or for a few days. The icing on the cake is when I get to actually TAKE the trip. 🙂
You bet, Michael- I hope it helps keep the creative fires stoked.
I hope you plan AND carryout a good ride this year 🙂
