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.

While the Cat's Away

I have some time to myself this week, so I began by sharing it with a friend. We had a lovely day, playing with her very lovable dog Teddy (I could have quite easily brought him home with me), chatting about our dolls and practicing with my new camera.


These were both taken in dappled shade and I am pretty happy about the way they turned out.


And here's a picture of Teddy!

      Hi Giac!
      Yes, the photography is getting better slowly, but the new camera has helped. It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect weather and yes being a "doggy person" like yourself, Teddy made it even more enjoyable.
      Hugs
