the magic of play
never underestimate the magical power of play.
this morning, i woke up feeling heavy. stress, like a dark cloud looming.
nothing serious . . . my daughter has exams . . . my son is feeling a little under the weather . . . work is piling and deadlines show no mercy.
so i took a little break. to bring some lightness back in. to be care-less for just an hour. to romp. to play.

and something happened . . .
exams are still happening. my son is probably coming down with something. and work has not magically disappeared.
but i feel lighter. i'm ready to tackle - i'm ready to help. my spirits lifted and there's a skip in my step once again.
yep - i'm up for the challenge. all the tightness in my shoulders has disappeared and the twinkle in my eyes is back.
so push your work aside and go for a walk. throw the ball around with the dog. skip rope. swing on swings. do cartwheels on the front lawn. paint. sculpt. make silly faces.
i'm telling you - promising you - you'll feel better. more capable and energetic. happier!
15 minutes is all it takes to (RE)discover the magic of play!

See, here's the thing Peg... I feel lighter just by *reading* about taking the time to have fun. How cool is that!
I am now going to walk away from my computer, and romp outside in the sunshine for a few minutes.
thank you dear...
