What do you do for Fun?


How strange that I have been asked this twice in the last couple weeks, and yet I can't recall ever being asked this in my life before!

I think I don't do much that is "fun" , but I do do things that bring me a lot of joy. 
Here's a list
  • homeschooling
  • writing
  • working as speaker coordinator for the homeschool conference
  • working as Special Needs Representative
  • teaching Sunday School
Those are what came to me in the first 30 seconds.

Note that all of these are work.
So, here's the thing: Work is joyful.
 Not much of it is fun (amusing, entertaining, lighthearted pleasure), but most of it is joyful.

And as a P.S. the word amusing as in amusement park etc. means without thought. "a" = without and "muse" = to consider something thoughtfully - thus literally without any thinking. 
No fun.
