We all have family, work, school, children, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, siblings, etc. You name it! At the end of the day when all is said and done what do you do for you. When it becomes quiet time, I try to rehash the day and set up for tomorrow. However, On my days off I try to do something special. This week I had my hair and nails done, I like to take a few to make myself feel pretty. What about you? What do you do to enjoy your life?

Reading is an awesome thing to do for me time. It takes you away to distant lands, gives you riches beyond your wildest dreams, makes you a princess, detective, or a vampire. What a marvelous way to enjoy life. I think everyone should follow in your footsteps. Great Idea! Happy MyLotting my friend. dl

My sister gets that done every two weeks. Well, she gets her nails done every two weeks. Her hair of course doesn't need treatment that soon! lol Actually, when she invited me to her and her husband's home last month as sort of a birthday present, she treated me to a manicure. It was the first professional one I ever had. And I kind of tried to get out of it. I didn't want her to spend money on me (she had already given me a very pretty necklace and earrings), and with a dog I wash my hands so much. But I did have it done and I really love the results! It has been almost a month, and not one bit of the polish is off. I didn't think that was possible! But as for me, to enjoy my life. As an every day solace, just being with my dog in a quiet moment refreshes my heart. But I do love it when I can afford to buy a new book. I usually try to wait until I have a coupon, and then combine it with a gift card I earned online. I get a new book, buy a Coca-cola and a 86 cent hamburger from McDonalds, and I'm happy! After typing this I have to ask, is that as pathetic as it sounds?!

It's not pathetic Ambie! I think its perfect! I have two doggies and one night everyone was out so me and the dogs walked over to the pizza place got a small cheese and went back home. Just us three. Its not the amount of money its the fact of doing something just for you to enjoy. Sometimes I bring the dogs to the park annd read. I bring a blanket and enjoy. Happy MyLotting my friend dl

What I really enjoy is having a good night sleep and waking up late in the morning. For everyday of my life I am doing the hardest things to do everyday and that is waking up very early. I am only simple in appreaciating good in my life. Having a good and creamy coffee that are just made at home makes me enjoy an hour for it. Having a massage from my older sister is quite perfect for me. But the very last thing that made me enjoy my life is having peaceful mind and lots of money.

All sounds good Grey. I cant sleep late. I wake up faithfully at 5 am. Without an alarm clock even. Its great that you can enjoy your sister like that. Money is good but it sometimes can create problems so I try to do things that dont involve money. If by chance money is available thast is when I choose to have a day of beauty. Thanks for sharing dl

I do not have to do something big to enjoy life. I would usually just play with my son outside with whatever he wants to play. Or even just going online makes me relax thus I enjoy life. I would also just take longer in the bathroom to pamper myself once in a while.

You dont have to do something big or spend alot of money to enjoy life. You just have to do something to enjoy yourself. Thats peoples biggest misconception. Money doesnt have to always be involved. Pampering yourself once and awhile is okay. Even that can be done at home by yourself for free. Enjoy your you time no matter what it is. Happy MyLotting. dl

In my terms, enjoyment is some thing which gives me immense pleasure and motivation to do it again with out thinking for second time. Enjoyment to me is in many forms. I enjoy reading a good book, watching a very entertaining movie, playing chess, making plans for future, imagining that I have a very bright future etc.All these activities are not unique to anyone. Everyone will go through these one time or other.It is up to the individual to honestly find a way to enjoy.

I'm having a problem with deciding what to do to enjoy life. I'm just too tired when I get home from work usually to do anything to interesting so I chill on the computer, watch TV or occasionally play video games. Shopping and getting out of the apartment is about all that I do as of late.

Sounds as if you have a rather nice life and THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO, an all important thing in life. I have a sleeping disorder so I go through different phases and cycles of sleep. Sometimes I sleep afew hours, am up afew and sleep afew. This goes on for several days. Then i sleep from around 11p. til 10a. or so for a while. Then I don't get to sleep until 2 or 3 or 4a. Then it gets worse and I don't get to sleep some nights until 6 or 7a. Then it starts all over again. I have severe depression so I am depressed and not 'happy' much. I don't work but do write online. Right now, because I am not interested in any article ideas, I am writing a sort bio about myself to help my counselor understand my past, present and future and better help me with those. I have a grandson who has a mood disorder, a daughter who is bi-polar and between the two life can be very challenging to say the very least. Fun, huh? I go to my counselor once a week, occasionally I go to a movie or out to lunch with a friend or family member. Or I take one of my kids to one of their appointments. That's about it!

I enjoy my life for making myself fulfill to my works. Meeting my goals in my daily life like having a client for tripping and close deal at the end of transaction. Other is if I set down in front of my computer and doing my work at home and chatting to my friends local and abroad.

I dont really have a lot of fun at least in terms of going out .For me enjoying my life consists of occasional trips to the country and mostly surfing .Usually I spend a lot of time on social networking sites like tagged and the rest of my time is spent between mylot and trading

I make sure that I have a special, quiet moment, at least once a week, or even once every two weeks. We need to spend time alone and give ourselves a pat on the back. For women, we can treat ourselves with massage, hair spa, manicure and pedicure. We all deserve it. Life is too short to spend it on trivial matters.

Partying with people, finding new leads in my genealogy search, working out complex problems (especially when I design a website), and playing with the baby are all things that I do to enjoy my life.

I just simply go to the mall with my partner, life is very simple and enjoyable if you know how to deal with it. Though I have a lot of problems, I make it a point that it wont affect me because I know that it wont help me anyway. I just smile to it and pray, I have a whole faith with god and I know that sooner, everything will be fine.

Imust say Junmae that life is hard enough without extra problems. Its brave, strong, and incredible women like you that make it easier for others to hold their heads up high and muddle thru. First off I say thank you for paving the way. I was feeling hopeless lately and after reading the few sentences you had written I realize that its me that makes my destiny and no matter what with faith and god I can get thru anything. Thanks to you. Happy MyLotting dl

I like making people around me laugh or smile and as for what I do for myself, I eat and sleep or sometimes I do some art stuff in order not to waste my creativity. When life hits on me so bad I look at the night sky and relax myself by imagining the stars as my friends and that they are consoling and or listening to me that very moment

I feel happy and enjoy only when I water the plant in my house. Every alternate days I used to water the plants. No rain here for the last four months. It gives me worry. I try to give sufficient water to the plants.

hello. yes we all do. And most of the time we are just so busy that we forget about ourselves. what I do to enjoy my life is treat myself every once in a while. i buy myself what I want whenever I have extra money and if its practical, lol. I am very thrifty, i hold the house budget. Most of the times, I treat myself Ice cream and I find it really enjoyable and it makes me happy.

I take myself out and have fun. Massages make me happy. Earning money for my future is my motivation so every day I am happy to go to work. One more thing having good times with my girl make it really enjoyable.
