So apparently I took my own advice last week about having fun because after I got back from vacation, I just continued to have fun.
- My very first Minnesota Landscape Arboretum visit on a beautiful fall day.
- Painting ceramics at Color Me Mine (I am NOT an artist or very creative).
- Played Phase 10 at Chatterbox with friends
- Valley Scare (haunted houses and roller coasters)
- World's Largest Corn Maze Run
- Fall fun including pig races, launching pumpkins through a cannon, laying in a corn pit, and jumping on a giant air pillow
- LYNX WNBA play off game
- Talked on a professional panel to a group of seniors at St Cate's
- 3 movies (Trouble with the Curve, Here Comes the Boom, and Perfect Pitch). All were fantastic.

But the best example this week of having fun starts with "gangnam style" Below is the music video to watch so you have an idea. This guy is from Korea and made this video and it exploded in around the world. One night a couple weeks ago when I first watched the video I got out of bed at 11:15 to try the dance.
Now pause for a moment and picture an 80 year old woman doing this dance. Because that is the video you are about to watch. My best friend's grandma practiced the dance for weeks so they could do the dance together. Three generations of women dancing to gangnam style. Amazing. She was choosing to have fun. (The video starts out a little dark but gets better).
Take a moment to read this article about laughter to remind yourself why it is so important.
Happy fall, go eat or drink some pumpkin and remember to laugh.
