How much fun is too much fun?

[Goldfoot]

😆

DH died 2 years ago and I'm proud of the way I've carried on. As is so often the case, adversity has shown me who my friends are and whilst some if the people thought were good friends have drifted off, some others have really stepped up, I feel fortunate. Thankfully I always retained my financial independence and have a good income so I can say yes to all and any invitations.

In the coming 10 weeks I have:

• a theatre trip to London
• a sports/social event
• three gigs for local bands
• a week hiking in the Alps
• a boozy weekend away with my sister
• a weekend music festival
• a destination wedding
• a long weekend trip to a European capital I've never been to
• A long weekend trip for some Mediterranean sunshine
• numerous meet ups for running and breakfast.

Oh and a new job starting in 6 days' time.

I'm a little concerned I'm going to burn myself out, but I am also so proud of myself for putting myself out there. Life really does go on and (most) people are amazing.

I think this is wonderful!

You should be proud of yourself, and I don't think you can ever have too much in.

Fun, not in!

No such thing as too much fun!

After dh died I did a LOT. Tbh it felt like embracing the life force. Carpe diem! I think it isn't unusual to grab onto life this hard during bereavement.

Yes, nothing like actual proof that life is short. I've suddenly become a risk taker, after a lifetime of being ultra cautious. I'm going away with people I really don't know that well because my old friends have been rubbish but I'm not in the least bit worried.
