The other day I answered “What did I enjoy when I was 10-12 years old?“. That was then. This is now. What do I do for fun? I used to get this question often when I was a college student, because I worked a lot & was serious about school…making it appear as if I didn’t have any fun I guess. What I did for fun in college & what I do for fun now may not be the same as what other people consider fun. In fact, I know it’s not. Some people have fun in other ways & that’s fine.
For me though, these are some things I like to do for fun:
- Rock climbing
- European traveling
- Spontaneous adventure in Ithaca, NY
- Zip lining in Mexico
- Hanging out with people I care about…Matthew McConaughey & Jaimie
- Swimming in a lake in the mountains in Bulgaria
- Bike riding in Northern Michigan
- Go to the beach at Surf City
- Cooked a birthday treat!
- kayak
- be outside
- rock climb
- read
- write
- improvise
- cook
- eat
- have great conversations
- spend time with people i care about
- spontaneous adventures (e.g. go to the Hollywood sign at 2 am; go for a 30 mile midnight bike ride, stopping to berry pick mid road trip)
- travel
- explore new places
- crossfit
- act
- bike ride
- run
- practice yoga
- watch funny movies
- write songs
- try new things
- run
- listen to music
- create
- go to the beach
- swim in an ocean or lake
- enjoy the sun

I like to read, watch old western movies. garden, go to the gym, play with great grandchildren, spend time with family and friends, teach Bible, pick up rocks, travel and enjoy the outdoors. I am enjoying life very much.
Whatever I haven’t done yet. That always seems fun. BTW, great list.
