Last night I returned to singing. This is my second year in the Boulder Handel’s Messiah choir. I joined this choir because it is a wonderful piece of music and so beautiful to sing. Singing is so uplifting and energizing.

What do you do that uplifts you, energizes you, makes you feel alive? I ask this question because life happens so fast sometimes that we don’t get around to appreciating it or having much fun.

Here are some activities I suggest you explore and do soon:

•   Take a walk in nature
•   Turn on some favorite music and sing along
•   Go play ping pong, tennis, golf or some other fun games
•   Make love to your partner more often
•   Take a class about something you have wanted to learn about or do like: cooking, writing, dancing, pottery, paper making, journaling, gardening, music appreciation, and an endless number of other options
•   Go for a bike ride and enjoy the fall
•   Rent a humorous film once a week
•   Go out and hear some live music
•   Invite friends over for a discussion about politics, religion and other lively topics
•   Explore ideas that seem foreign but intriguing
•   Go on a retreat to enrich your life
•   Talk to a coach or counselor to encourage further growth
•   Listen to what is calling you inside so you can fully express your uniqueness
•   Be grateful each day for something you take for granted.

I hope you find at least some of these ideas inspirational. Please leave a comment below with any suggested activities you recommend for enjoying life more fully.

There I did it, not a single comment about what is going on in the drama of politics and this election. I feel some comments coming right now so I will end today’s blog with this question: What keeps you from fully loving and accepting yourself today? Isn’t it time to let that go? Have a wonderful day.
