30 days of JOY ---Day 14

Today's JOY came in the form of silliness , No pill or drug can replace a bad mood better than seeing the world through the eyes of a child. Every now and again we need to just let our hair down and be a child again. Play with your child in the hammock and listen as they giggle, cause someone is grabbing for their toes everytime it swings close. Watch the joy on a childs face as they get their bike going to full speed and they are imagining that it's a car and they're driving. Get in the porch swing and push it as high as it will go then just let it sway until it comes to a stop. Lay on your back in the grass and see how many shapes you can make out in the clouds. Take the time to watch what your children do for fun so that you can mimick and remind yourself just what it was really like to feel free of stress. Laugh uncontrollably for at least 5 minutes , you know the one where the tears start to flow, and you snort a little , and embarrass yourself because you almost wet your pants. When was the last time you did this. When was the last time you let yourself be yourself. I was able to be myself today for the first time in a long time. Thanks Sam and Abbie you were just what the Doctor ordered . One of my favorite quotes is Dance Like No ones watching, Sing like no one is listening and Live like there is no tommorow....Just for a moment close your eyes and imagine what your life would be like if you did this even for a day....I challenge each of you to take time out this weekend to be a kid again...try to see it through their eyes, try to do it like they do it, play so hard that you fall asleep in your clothes before your husband gets supper ready( that was a joke so you could start laughing now!!!) Well goodnight everyone, hope your weekend is as good as mine is going to be.......
