My Post on Playing During Difficulty at BePlayful.org
I met a really visionary blogger this past year named David Masters and he writes a blog called “Be Playful.” I’ve guest blogged there in the past and he just published one of mine there today on “Playing Through Difficult Times.” I know some people going through tough times and others in their bliss out looking for birthday invitations. It just depends what cards you’ve been dealt. Maybe your play will earn you the money to go on a dream vacation? You can even be playful as your picking and purchasing the tickets, according to David’s philosophy. I was today and here’s a few things I learned about fares and places:
The flights to rome have been getting more expensive. There are no other cheap flights on the route, except for the flights to boston that take a fun touch down. The orlando flights too are a tad bit bigger.
this search could be a tedious task to the average person but even flight searching can be a blast. David has shared there in the intro that he himself has been going through another not-so-fun task of moving. Maybe you are going through a difficult time right now. Maybe you know someone who’s lost their job or is just plain down. It may seem like the end of the world but remember that all experience is life experience. When you stop feeling pain you’re dead. I love the quote Woody Guthrie said: “Take life easy or take it hard but TAKE IT.” You can read all my favorite quotes here. My guest post at Be Playful is here.

Damien, play is such an essential component in maintaining our well being yet an area that adults all too often ignore. We allow life and responsibilities to overtake our sense of fun and adventure and in so doing we miss the inspiration and restoration that comes with play. When life is difficult, all the more reason to build in some play time. It is a wonderful way to relieve stress and allow our minds and bodies a break from challenge. I have also found that those periods of play allow me to come back to “life” with a renewed perspective. Excellent post! I’ll head over and read your guest post too!

I really like what you said in this comment. Just reading that Tony Snow died this morning is yet another reminder of how something like colon cancer can take any of us sooner than we think. That’s why we have to play. Great to see your comment this morning Karen.
