Has anyone noticed that life can be a little … TOUGH!!!
Life comes at a person fast and furious (on some days). Or dreary and overwhelmingly dull and even (should I use the word … depressing) on other days. Scary, Frightening, Sad, Miserable, Hectic, Cruel, Too much, too much, too much …
There you go. That’s us humans for you. We’re a very reactionary bunch aren’t we? We think and emote over almost everything. Maybe we’re too stationary. Or not stationary enough (mentally speaking)!
I think we need more “playful” breaks. Tickling and giggling are good. Just running with a burst of energy for no reason at all is good. Singing a fun song just for the heck of it.
“If your happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.
If you’re happy and you show it then the whole wide world will know it,
it you’re happy and you know it clap your hands.”
Happiness is a state of being. It doesn’t “fix’ the problems of the world. But it certain puts us in a more positive productive mode (mood also) which can in fact change how we approach the problems of the world. Change your attitude and things don’t appear quite so untenable.
Saying I love you for no reason at all except you just want to in the moment (children do that spontaneously, you know).
And being sensual … as in my last post. That’s being playful also. On a list of top ten playful things for adults to do … Being openly sensual is right up there towards the top because we need each other and we need to let each other know this. A very good and “playful” reminder for you today.
It’s Thursday, a work day for many, still take a little bit of time today and be playful,
thanks for stopping by,

The Why About This 
All work and no play………fun post. 🙂
Thanks Celestine, btw I published The Shy Butterfly today, my friend! 🙂
Love the idea of playful breaks! We, as adults, should do everything from running through the sprinklers to keeping a box of crayons by our desk for a little “creative break”!

Yes, I like it! That’s exactly what we should all do! Thanks, when it warms up again I’m definitely heading for the sprinklers, have a great weekend Kenley!
A great lesson!
Clap, clap

We don’t lose the need for novelty and pleasure as we grow up… why do we dismiss such a wonderful resource that brings such joy to your life? It is a pity indeed. Glad to see the little girl in you is still alive and thriving and expressing herself 😉 warm hugs to you dear one. 😉
Thanks Roxi, I like the little girl in you too! 🙂 xx
I’m going to be singing this song all day now, Penny! LOL Thank you! 😀
🙂 you’re welcome Dianne!
AnElephantCant always be grown up
Sometimes he is silly and playful
He is quite immature
And childish for sure
And for this he is eternally grateful
Indeed! Double indeed! 🙂 xx
I like this. I love the woman with the little girl, but I think the toddler with the water is the best one 😀
We do need to make time to do some playtime. Whether it is tickling, child play or adult play. Playing gets rid of tension and brings laughter. The laughter of little children is infectious.
If you’re happy and you know it Stamp your feet
If you’re happy and you know it Stamp your feet
If you’re happy and you show it then the whole wide world will know it
If you’re happy and you know it Stamp your feet
Exactly so Alastair, thank you! 🙂
You’re always welcome my friend
