The 8th Day !
I have been thinking for a while about this and I finally talked to Uncle God to see what does he have to say about it… here is how our conversation went…
Me: Uncle, I need another day …
Uncle: For?
Me : To have fun… Weekdays seem to be too busy at work, and weekends as well fly away… when do I have fun…
Uncle: And?
Me: So you add another day in the week… make it an 8 day week… and the 8th day would be the “Funday“… I will only enjoy on that day… no sad feelings, no dull faces… only fun !
Uncle: You are crazy fella ! And me too, for keeping up with you… but I am sorry, I cannot just add another day to the week… Even I am hit by recession… even I am short of days these days ! I rather give another day for people to eat, and another day for people to live.. don’t even get me started on that note.. but here is what you can do…
- When you wake up in the morning, thank someone that you have another day to enjoy !
- When you brush your teeth, dance
- When you are cooking in the kitchen, dance
- When are walking to the office, or driving or cycling to the office, listen to your favorite music… and do that when you are coming back from work too
- When you meet people in the elevator, always say a hello
- When you are taking food in the cafe, greet the person on the other side of the counter
- Before you go off to sleep, call someone you’ve not called in a while and talk for 5 minutes
- Don’t ever sleep with a unresolved argument
- Sing when you take a bath
- Go out for a walk after you have your dinner… spend this time with yourself.. leave your phone home, leave your iPod home as well
- Cook for someone you like
- Write a letter to your parents
- Play, run, jump, hop whenever you get an opportunity
- Once a day smell something nice
- Compliment when you like something
- Ask for opinions from the sales people when you shop
- Find a complete misfit cloth, wear it and show it your friends
- Make faces in the mirror
Do these and come back to me… I will tell you a few more things to do… If you still feel you need another day called a “funday” we will think about it !
