Friday Fun (Edition 2)

As promised, here's my fun Friday post for the week....

Some thoughts on fun:

Fun almost implicitly requires some novelty. It's hard to be a professional at fun, because then you're trying too hard and the fun isn't fun anymore. There is pressure. It is better to be an amateur when it comes to fun (Downs, 2021; Mills, 2020).

“But if you hang around just waiting for it all to turn perfect, you’re going to miss out on all the fun parts. You’ll still get in on the not-fun parts, though!” (Miller, 2016)

Things I found fun this week:

Colored pen doodling during my weekly prayer time

The menu planning blog community at This Week for Dinner

Sorting and cataloging boxes of records for a family member (Discogs is the bomb!)

Following a local race on Instagram

Waffle tacos for Sunday night dinner
