The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was spectacular and was an amazing display of colors shattering the sky with beauty. Sometimes it only takes a moment to get los tin the beauty.
I was watching the new puppy chase grasshoppers today. She was not very good at it but she tried a lot. For a few minutes I was lost in the playful moments as she jumped and ran with playful zest. A few minutes later when we came in she ran around and played with the cat. The cat, who thinks she is a dog, was cautious but playful and both were unaware of the world, and challenges, or really anything past the moment.
Ahhh, that is the life huh?
There is an old Star Trek Episode called “Shore Leave” that focuses on the need for play. In the episode the focus was “The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play”. Somewhere in the depth of it all we need to remember that. We need to find that simplicity in ourselves and find the way to play, laugh, and be the wonderful people that we can be. Anything less just doesn’t feel fun.
While you walk into the evening and on to another day, consider for a second with me, Did you have fun today? If not, why not? If so, keep it up! The world has hope because of you.
So as the sun sets on another day, consider well the possibilities of play and fun in your life. If possible find your career that is, well, fun! When work is full of fun and play more gets done, and the excitement is contagious. Fun is a good thing, don’t let anyone ever say different, they are no fun, right? Let’s work together to make the world a little more fun, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and boing boing…
