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.

Thank You

To all my blogging friends:~ Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind words of condolence, it's greatly appreciated by both my hubby and myself.

I am still not ready to return to blogging at present, but hopefully I will be back in the not too distant future. However, before leaving, I thought I'd share the many faces of Coco. There were moments, even when he got older, where he somehow retained his cute puppy looks, and he would look so different when he was given a very short all over clip.

    Hola Xanadu, Coco está muy guapo en todas las fotos, era un perro muy bonito y seguro que muy cariñoso.

    So sorry to read of your loss, and sorry for not seeing this earlier. My thoughts are with you. It is so hard losing a beloved companion, especially dogs as they give such unconditional love. What a beautiful tribute. My thoughts are with you.

    I just read your sad news and I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Coco sounded like such a tough little thing. I am sure he knew how much he was loved by the both of you. It's so hard to lose a loved one. Our pets have a way of hiding their suffering and we don't know until afterwards. Both our little furballs were like that too. They are very good at hiding their pain. I wish I could give you a big warm hug. Take all the time you need. And if you ever need to talk, you know I'm here for you.
