What a beautiful post!
It’s so true, we don’t laugh enough.
I play most days. I wander in the woods with my camera, (or without) I lose myself in my favorite music. I try to make strangers laugh.
Still, just because we’re grown ups doesn’t mean we can’t make life more fun!
Thanks for the reminder.

Play!?! I love to play. Whether that play is painting or snapping photos or hiking or reading or….the list is long and one of my favorite things to do is add new play ways to it.

I can just picture you with your little angels giggling away, so sweet.

Thanks for the feature on FB, Christine. I love the Single Shot concept.

I sort of kept track of how often I laughed today and it was nowhere near that of a typical child. I hope to do better tomorrow.

A matinee, chatting with strangers, flirting and sampling foot candy — sounds like the perfect afternoon, BLW!

Today, for the first time in nearly a year, I closed my computer at noon, left the house (not pertaining to running parent errands or any of the other unending responsibilities) – and I left. I drove not too far, then walked, then took myself to an afternoon movie (I never do that), then wandered some more, had coffee, chatted with strangers (fun!!), wandered more, flirted (even more fun!), tried on shoes (TOO fun), and eventually wandered my way home.

No plan. Just “being.” My kind of playtime. All too rare. And so easy. Sort of.

Belinda, my very nature demands that I play all the time. I may have said it here or elsewhere before, but I tend to get bored very very easily. Playing, or turning everything into a game, helps me to engage with whatever it is I have to do whenever I don’t get to play… if that makes sense. Doesn’t always work because work is… well, just work, no matter how fun you try to make it. Still, I like to try, because who wants to be a buttoned up adult? Bleh.

For me the word to pursue is joyful and to aim for that in whatever I do. I cannot bring back the innocent perception children have, but I can be aware that I go about my day joyfully. xox Wilma
