Am I Allowed to Have Fun?
We have a ski trip planned in the next few days.
Do I remember how to ski? Will I fall down?Is skiing something that comes back to you?
We are going up to the Pyrenees, about two hours away.
Taking a ski trip mid-week feels indulgent. Am I allowed to have fun? It feels like I'm not allowed to have fun.
I tell myself, Joey, it's ok to have fun. It's not wrong to have fun. You can have fun.
Really? I say. Really? I don't have to be grumpy all the time?
No, you don't.
Hmmm. Will there be a hot tub?
Yes, there will.
Ok, I'll let myself have fun.
