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.

A Golden Opportunity

Some folk think autumn rather a sad time, because it heralds the approach of winter (which you know I am not at all fond of). However, I love autumn, there is a wonderful rustle of leaves underfoot, the sun is warm and the breezes are softly cooling.


To me it's also a reminder . . . that just as the leaves are turning from green to gold, we have another opportunity to turn over a new leaf . . . another page in our lives.

My intention is to concentrate more on my sewing during the autumn, as I have been given a list by some very special dolls, for some very particular garments.

Winter will come soon enough, with it's depressing grey skies and cold rainy days, though for now I'd rather not think about it. And yet after the winter, the flowers and butterflies will be back again to fill the world with beauty, the sun will shine and I will be content once more.

I hope you always look on the bright side of life!
Hugs,
