CHAPTER 22

Huckleberry Finn

Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do . . . Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.

—Mark Twain

I was thinking that I had completed this book, but something just didn't feel quite finished. I could not figure out what area I had forgotten to write about. So I put a crayon in my nondominant hand and asked my inner child what area was missing. It wrote HUCKLEBERRY FINN. “What?” I asked. I could not figure out what that meant, so I asked it to tell me. It wrote FUN in big letters! “Oh,” I said, “you want me to write a chapter on fun?” It replied, FUN THINGS TO DO. I thought about this. It sure felt like the missing piece. Being a person who, for a long time, hasn't been comfortable having fun, I asked others what they do for fun. See the following list of suggestions for you to think about, just in case you sometimes get stuck not knowing what to do for fun.
