The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct. Carl Jung

While being an adult is all fine and good, there’s something that nourishes the soul when we play and have fun. What’s your favorite kind of play? What do you enjoy about it? When’s the last time you played?

Well that’s interesting. I used to play quite a bit more. I used to take walks in the morning and look for deer and rabbits. I haven’t been ablet to take morning walks for sometime. 1) ankle problems…but those are getting taken care of –I have a month’s worth of physical therapy to schedule. And just exhaustion. I’ve been working SO much, doing SO much more with more being piled on all the time that I’m just burnt out. So no getting up early to walk.

I used to make collage boxes. Those were art and play. Glue and scissors, pictures, beads, toys from vending machines. I’ve missed that. I haven’t done it in over a year. I love the process and the product. Something that comes out of

That needs to change. I think I’ll clean up the dining room table this weekend and turn it back into my art table.

I make movies. I love doing that. Various programs. MANY programs. I’ll play with any of them.

I just got a usb turntable. It should be play for me to pull all those old LPs into my music collection but I’ve been too…something from the process of interviewing/deciding to leave current job.

#wineparty was play—a chance to be witty and outrageous. It’s not where my head is right now, but it will be again at some point I’m sure. It’s hilarious and a lovely group of people.

Swimming with the kidlet and playing with floating devices is fun. Haven’t done that since the summer.

Still can’t ride my bike. Maybe I’ll try that early in the morning Saturday. Just up and down the street, with a lot of ibuprophen and an icepack at the ready.

I quit playing this year and yes, that needs to change.
