Have Fun!
This was a statement made
by Walter Crawford, Jr. at the end of a very serious and stressful planning
meeting at the World Bird Sanctuary.
Here I am having more fun than a barrel of Lemurs.
You may not automatically
think this to be a deep, inspiring, profound statement. Yet this is a great call to arms for
those who feel stressed after a meeting in any field or just by life in
general. Find your joy! Boldly go! We all love that kind of philosophical tripe. I say that kind of stuff to my kids all
the time and hopefully I am an example of that theme throughout my life.
If you are not in a place
where you are having fun, work to find that place. Don’t think you have to accept less. This may take time though. The place where I have fun is with
those who inspire me; my family who’s love strengthens me, the volunteers who
share their lives with us, the animals that drive our passion and remind us of
things bigger than ourselves. I
have fun with the dedicated employees of the
organization with whom I laugh at the absurdities of the world.
Life is messy like fresh
fruit sometimes is, but it’s worth taking a big bite of. So I hope you join us in our plan to
seriously have fun saving the world.
