Remember to Play

on top of the world

No matter which decade of my life I’m in (or nearing), I always want to take time out to play. When I play a great game with the kids, play tennis, work out, shoot hoops, or just walk the dog, I feel better physically and am usually in a better mood. My tolerance level rises and, overall, I’m better able to handle challenges that come my way.

Can’t work and worry (and blog!) all the time. It’s not healthy.

Remember to play.

I’m still chuckling, Dan. Just what I needed this evening. Thank you for the flattery, my friend!

Blogging is play for me, but I suppose just moving my fingers doesn’t count as exercise. I should go outside more.
