Two words that fit together perfectly. Fun and free! What could be better than getting something for free? Getting something FUN for free! Obviously how you have fun depends on your circumstances. If you are a single mum, you would find enjoyment another way that a ninety year old man would (hopefully.)

I believe one of the most important factors involved with the making of 'fun', would have to be company. Everyone needs companionship, whether it be a dribbling two year old or a dribbling ninety one year old.

If you do not have anyone pull your sleeves up, put your shoes on, leave this computer and go out, find a friend. To some this may seem hard, but if you can just instil a bit of confidence into yourself, find something to do and you will find a buddy. Hell if you don't like people, find a dog!

Another great thing about having fun for free in summer is obvious. The sun, oh how great is that big yellow ball in the sky, delivering warm rays down to us on earth, so we can burn and peel. They say people in general are happier when its sunny, I agree. There is nothing better that relaxing in the sun, chilling with a mate.

The sun opens out the whole world to us, no longer should we be confined to the house. Whether you live inner city, or out in the sticks, a simple walk can provide the easiest enjoyment. Its hard to believe but some of us cannot even find the time to walk anywhere. Walking is a great way to think, talk, laugh. You can do it almost anywhere, parks, streets, fields, even cemeteries!

When trying to have fun there is another vital point you must remember, do not stress! Forget work, kick back and relax. It is all mind over matter, I don't mind so it don't matter. Leave all your troubles behind, at least for a while. You can worry again later if you want, but while you are trying to have a pleasant time forget about it please.

Now you have some key essentials for your fun filled time, company and a relaxed persona. Have a brainstorm, find something to do with your buddy, may be a project you can start e.g. find something fun to make with stuff around you. Go sit on a hill, a good view can provoke a great feeling. Go do some volunteer or charity work, not only will this give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside but it will introduce you to new people and activities.

Having fun should not cost a thing, and happiness follows alongside. Try to enjoy life as it is, do not put too much pressure on yourself.
