Fun

The covid crisis really cut back on our fun times.  What can we do for fun when you are on lockdown?  Well, when covid took away our fun , we had to invent or explore new fun.

During these times we set up our cardboard table to construct a 1500 piece puzzle of the map of the world.  We got the edges intact, and then the hard part was finding all the connections to the blues of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.  At times it was tedious and frustrating, but to finally fill that last spot was quite an accomplishment.

Covid took away fun activities with our extended families.  Instead of personal contacts, we turned to Zoom meetings.  We played a card game called, Oh Hell.     As we cast our bids and took our tricks, we chatted and visited with family.

Having fun, at times, is part of our needed emotional balance.   When fun activities were taken from us, we had to explore alternatives.  Perhaps there is lesson here.  We must not expect "fun" to come to us, but we have to go after it, whatever the circumstances.

"Just play.  Have fun.  Enjoy the game."
