Play and Have Fun


Have fun.  Last week was Spring Break for my children and we got to go check out the latest additions to Universal Studios Orlando.  There is a lot of magic at an amusement park.  And you go there to have fun!  Sure, there are moments in the day when you think, I MUST press on!, you know, when it's hot, humid and you have been up since 5:30 am on vacation to make sure you got the first seat on a ride!  But I digress....having fun, disconnecting from work, and just playing is something we all need to do.  Seeing and experiencing awe and excitement will never get old.  Watching kids (and adults) wave wands to make things happen, seeing a someone at a horror makeup show "cut" into someone's arm and hear the audience cringe..then laugh because it was staged, and screaming and raising your arms as you and hundreds of others go over a drop reminds me that having fun is a necessary part of our lives.  Certainly you don't have to go to a theme park, but whatever you do make sure you have fun!
