Have a Fun Day

As I pulled up to the drive-thru window of Starbucks the other day, the employee handed me my drink and said, “Have a fun day!”

She didn’t say “have a nice day or “have a good day. She changed one small word and lifted my mood instantly.

We are each given 365 days a year. We can make those days bad days, stressful day, angry days, nice days, restful days, happy days, swipe through social media days, catch up with a friend days, workout days, or productive days.

We can also make them fun days.

We spent the day playing games, drawing, watching RuPaul’s Drag Race, getting ice cream, and making great memories.

Would we have done that if she said “have a good day” instead? I don’t know, but flipping the switch and encouraging me to have a fun day worked.

Make something.

Turn off your electronics.

Go somewhere you’ve never been.

Eat something you’ve never eaten.

Laugh.

Dance.

Stop caring about what other people think.

Life should be fun, because why not?

To the Starbucks employee, I say thank you.

And to you? Please! Go have a fun day!!!
