40 Joyful Ways To Have Fun Alone Or With Friends What is worse than doing something late? Not doing it at all.
One of my SMART goals (remember them?  I do, even though I have not written about them in a while) was to have more fun.  A sub-goal of this goal was to compile a list of fun activities that I could do with or without friends.  I am clearly late with coming up with this list. The due date for the fun activities list is was Halloween.  Here it is post-thanksgiving and I am just getting it done.  Better late than never.  Never too late to have more fun.
I came up with 40 different activities.
  1. Movies
  2. Spa treatment
  3. Happy Hour
  4. Have a pot luck
  5. Color (yes with a coloring book and crayons)
  6. Go to a museum
