Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Memories

I am still working on my project bear, it's almost stuffed and the accessories are coming along nicely. Remembering to take photos of the accessories as I go, is the hardest thing, so you may have to wait another day or two for the tutorial. Silly me finished the first accessory I was making before I realised I had forgotten to take the photos for steps 5 and 6. Now I will have to remember to take the darn photos when I make up the second one.

I thought I would make up for it a little by posting a photo of one of my bears I made a few months back, who now living with his new mummy in West Creek, New Jersey USA.


Hope you are all having a grand day!
