Who Said You Couldn't Play?

How old are you? Really. Now, how old do you feel?  When was the last time you played? O'kay, when was the last time you threw a snowball at someone in the church parking lot (after church), and then hid? Some people I know are shocked to find out that I like...O'kay, I love, to do things like that. Considering I'm an adult. Many of you reading do still like to play, so you know what I'm talking about. But there are some people that are just so stiff, they look older than their natural age because they take things so seriously.

Start playing, get on the floor with some kids (your own for beginners would be nice) if you have kids. Get a kids perspective. Remember when you were a kid and you used to get sort of upside down on a chair, or on the extreme side of the bed and you would look up at the ceiling. Remember the flushed feeling on your face and, if you were a girl with long hair, your hair would touch the floor and you would just stay in that wonderful upside downish position just staring at the ceiling. You would find every crack and crevice, if there were wooden beams, you counted every beam.

The years have gone by and you stop staring at the celing...upside down.

Homework: Please do the above mentioned. Be a kid again.
