Go outside and play, Mother used to say to us children.
I’m Perpetua and I’m 66 years old. I handed this words of wisdom and activities from Mother down to grandchildren.
Play is primal. I noticed this innate behaviour in children and animals.
Playfulness, the unbearable lightness of being. When people ask me what I’m doing, “I’m playing” is my immediate response.
Mentally, play helps me keep sane. It’s therapeutic. It keeps my mind away from automatic thoughts. Doctors order!
“Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh, and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause.” – Charlie Chaplin
I have two cats that I play with. All the time.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. True words. I need my playtime.
Having known your style in RDP, you LOVE playing, Lois.
haha! You know me very well, Perpetua. I really do LOVE playing.
I love the playfulness in you, Lois.
