PLAY-TITUDE 30: THE MANY TOYS OF PLAYFULNESS’S TOYBOX!



What a good month this has been!  All of us have explored our writing in depth.  I have explored my relationship with play and have discovered when my play-titude happens, lightness and joy are the result.  These are toys in my toy box that bring out my play-titude!

 PLAY-TITUDE’S TOYS
 


Play to the beat of the music—sing
Laugh from deep inside your belly
Be spontaneous
Build your own adult playground
Dance with abandon
Dream!

Notice the world
Fashion with beauty and purpose
Get your hands dirty—fun is in the mess
Play with words
Cook without a recipe
Create!

Play alone
Read a book
Go on a date—just with you
Take a long bath
Play with a pet
Renew!

Play with others
Tell a joke…tell a story
Share food with a friend
Play with a child to see wonder
Surround yourself with children and know joy
Touch!


Find a rock and make a friend
Create and celebrate the rituals of life
Be grateful for all
Celebrate the big
Celebrate the small
Celebrate!

Playfulness lives in dreams, in connection, in creation, in renewal and in celebration.  An important meshing exists between playfulness and her sisters.  To embrace one, I am at the same time creating space for the other.   As I dream, connect, create, renew and celebrate a playful response is born.   
I have known playfulness and each of her sisters this month.  Having an attitude open to exploring playfulness has allowed me to find the gold.  For this I am grateful.   

PLAY-TITUDE #30:   CHOOSE PLAY-TITUDE!

  1. Yes, we need to build our own adult play grounds! It has been a good month and the blogs were so interesting and different. Sometimes I felt overwhelmed at how many I wanted to read, but at times just could not. So enjoyed reading each of yours...positive and fun. Hope to see you on Tuesdays.
