Playing

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"Play is as essential to the aged as it is to the young. I count that day lost when I am not moved to tears or laughter, but even more if I have not played.".... George Sheehan in "Going the Distance"

The art of play is limitless in its possibilities. We are all born with pro like abilities, knowing how to play is one of our natural birthrights. The first toys we possess are fingers and toes, but we quickly learn that everything has the capacity of being a plaything.

Over time our toys get more complex to continue challenging our mind in equal measure with its development, but if we are wise we never forget how to play. Advanced age should not be so solemn that laughter cannot find an outlet. Glee heals from the inside out and longevity usually means more wounding's.

The natural bandages are always the best. Play is God given medication to use as needed for instant relief of whatever ails us. Why so many of us leave it behind as we age is a mystery. If you have misplaced your playfulness go looking for it before its too late. A life without laughter is a poor imitation of what is possible, and a true waste of a God given gift. And as always.... think about it.... let it ride.... then you decide!!!!
