Wow! I'm going to have to look that one up -- love the title of it!

Please share with us what you found out. :)

Still not sure if that was a gross thing on my part.

It was the perfect thing to do!

one of us starts and then suddenly we all join in.

Once my friend and I were grocery shopping and I just started singing The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. I stopped, embarassed, but someone else took it up and pretty soon almost the whole store was singing it! It was awesome! I really would not have believed it if someone told me, but it is true!

I like to play hide-n-seek with my furry friends,

My dogs love this one, it is our favourite whilst out on a walk.

Tug O' war is our favorite:D

Sometimes they let me play too!

Someone mentioned trying to see images in cloud formations -- I like that, too.

I also like bringing home fallen leaves, pulling out identification books to figure out what type of trees they come from.

I play the scribble game whenever I'm at a restaurant waiting for my food.

What you do is make a scribble then pass it over to someone. From that scribble they have to make a picture.

I've done that with my dad ever since I can remember :)

What are some positive activities that you do as a way to reclaim your childhood and renew a connection with the innocence of joy and celebration?

An example: When I'm in the right presence of mind while walking my dog, I look for "found objects" (a paperclip or interesting bottle cap) or "tree droppings" like acorns or mimosa seed pods, etc. At the end of the walk, I have a bowl on my porch table in front of my swing where I put them to remind me that a simple walk can offer so much wonder.

I love spending time with kids. There is a local kids club in my area named Boys & Girls Club Of Central Texas, which I love to visit. Fun to see kids enjoying so much.

I have 6 yellow ducks, in my bath tub. The ones small children get in their bath tub. I also love having a bubble bath and playing with the foam. I need to get a small boat next.
Coloring books is my latest one, it is just so peaceful and relaxing. I have a Great Barrier Reef, Historic Ships, Roses, Mandela, Geometric designs and Transformers, are just some of them. I also want to get some different shades of pencils other than the basics. Metallic ones are coming in the mail soon. :):tup: I am a kid at heart but I have lost it somewhere.

Yay for coloring books! My favorites are the geometric designs, or the 'stained glass' ones printed on paper that lets light through. I get out the lego blocks sometimes, or the video games I loved as a kid. My old atari still works. The dolls get passed off as a 'collection', but I play with them. Calling it a collection just means the nicer dolls go on shelves when it's not playtime. Once in a while I treat myself to a fast-food kid's meal. It's a better portion size, but it's really about the toy. I line them up on the windowsills.

Yes I like colouring books too. Also skipping, hoola hoop and trampoline, even if it is just bouncing on the bed ;)

best wishes
