I work in a recreation center on the weekends doing various chores and duties. Today, a family stopped in and played ping-pong for a while. On the way out, I heard the father ask the daughter, "Are you sure that you don't want to play chess?"
Her replied was guarded so as not to actually tell the father no, but said, "It's not that I don't want to play chess. I just want to go to the park more!"
Spring is here or near, depending on where you live. Either way, odds are that the weather is nice or getting that way. Remember what it was like to go outside. It is what we used to look forward to doing. We didn't want to be inside. It's time to reintroduce yourself to the outdoors. A place that we have forgotten how to enjoy.
A child's bliss in a playground might be to much to ask, but maybe we can find pleasure in nature, a park, time with our children, or even time alone (without electronics) to destress and unwind. Find out what your new "play" is! I am going on a 6 mile play tomorrow :)
