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.

Is the Lamplight Golden

I'm still alive and kicking, though I am still in hibernation. For some reason the winter has this effect on me, perhaps I was a bear in a previous life and it's an inbred instinct for me to hide in my cave during the cold winter days.

Anyway I have finally caught up with all your blogs and I am happy you all seem to be enjoying time with your dolls. However, I am going back to my knitting and I'll be back as soon as the weather improves and the SUN IS SHINING once more . . . I hope you enjoy the poem.

Is the lamplight golden
Or has the moon unveiled
The molten path of night-time
Where starlight glow has paled?

And into snowy corners
The lustrous glitter bold
Makes warm the winter evening
And hides the chilling cold.

The treetops shake their icing
Upon the frozen street
And snowflakes flutter softly
Their lacy patterns sweet.

Thinking of You

Still really busy, but I had to drop by to tell you I miss you and I will catch up with you all eventually.

Making a bright day even brighter,
Making a glad heart even lighter,
Chasing all cares and worries away -
Friends can do that any day!

Remember to give someone a hug and tell them you love them today . . . you may never have the opportunity to do so tomorrow.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

Down . . . But Not Out . . . Yet!

Ever have days when you really don't feel like seeing or talking to anyone? Can't be bothered even getting dressed and just want to curl up on the couch and sleep the day away? Well that's good, 'cause now you know how I feel!

I could do with a day of pampering, having . . .

. . . and lots of shopping, YES LOTS OF IT!! Yep, you have got to agree there is something to be said for the saying . . . "When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping!"

I'm off to the shower, then it's SHOPPING time for little ol' me!

Have a great weekend!
