I so agree with you about the importance of play, and you speak strongly about taking responsibility for the outcome of your life.

I also love how you describe the whole experience of making fun an organic part of your life and not something you have to plan. I couldn’t agree with you more.
Keep on having fun and stopping by to share your beautiful thoughts.

Sandy,
It’s amazing how the context of work is fictionalised to make it something more than it is not. Of course we live in a society where employment is dominant, but it doesn’t mean we are less than the people we are in it. I find that play is as important in work as any other area, because it is what you bring out to yourself and others through the overall experience you create in your life.
The moments we each have are enjoyment in the making in their own way, and the fun never stops. We don’t have to intentionally create fun, when we know we are already making it, or it just happens to be straight in front of us, when we don’t envision to see or experience ourselfs through it.
I am having fun right now!
Lovely to stop by as always.

What a fun idea to use sidewalk chalk. Yesterday, on my daily walk, I noticed that someone had covered their whole driveway with a sidewalk chalk congratulations message. It was so cool! I look forward to seeing what you posted on your blog.

Even the name of ‘Utopia Park’ sparks excitement and mystery. How great that you were so spontaneous.

Two mentions of sidewalk chalk in one blog post must mean something. And bringing out all the old favorites for your grandchildren is such a great way to reconnect to fun and joy. Mary Poppins? There we go with sidewalk chalk again. Hmmmm. Love the flying nanny. So magical.

Keep on sparking the magic for yourself and being a conduit for others.

Today I was on the way to an early morning meeting and passed a few people who were about to go on an outing to a place called “Utopia Park,” an artificial rain forest with tens of thousands of orchids. I did a mental inventory of my planned day, decided there was nothing that couldn’t be done tomorrow, and signed up for the trip 10 minutes before it left. It was absolutely beautiful, and it was fun doing something so spontaneously!

I love playing with my grandkids – I’ve introduced them to some of my childhood favorites – Nok-Hockey, Uno, Set, Boggle, jacks, pick up sticks, sidewalk chalk, and I love reading them my old children’s books.

Yesterday my daughter Rachel and all her kids had the flu, so I had all the kids over but the baby. We dug up our old wooden train set and building blocks and covered the living room floor with our little world that we created. We also watched Mary Poppins together. I was the same age as my oldest granddaughter is now when it first came out and I re-experienced my childhood delight through hers.

Thank you for the suggestions, they are great. I also posted on the importance of play, but mine was more about relaxing and having fun.
I am thinking that some sidewalk chalk is in my future, while not strictly a toy, it always brings a smile and I loved it as a child.
