Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?
game night
a good round or several of
“Cards Against Humanity”
with rowdy friends always
generates laughter…the tears
running down our red faces, side-
aching, breathless kind…it’s good
medicine in times like these
where everything is scary and
deadly serious, and where there is
no reason to laugh ever, sometimes
being irreverently silly, grossly
inappropriate, and absurd is just
the ticket, a guilty pleasure
to help me forget the world
for and hour or two…your turn

There are other things, of course that I consider playtime. Coloring in new coloring books with a fresh box of crayola crayons with my grandkids. Only Crayola crayons will do…if you know, you know.
Trying new recipes, baking things, anything. It is playtime for me. It is something I look forward to doing over the weekend and holidays.
And several electronic games. I like strategy games that require a certain amount of skill. Not necessarily sim type games.
And finally certain crafting and art projects. It is rare for me to have time to devote to creative play that is not writing. Writing is a non-negotiable must in my life. It keeps me sane.
It occurred to me that I am rather boring. Which is most likely why an occasional game of “cards” was first on my list!
Much love, peace, and glimmers to you!

Today’s glimmer…I made a tray of pecan pie bark or crack (as it is called). It has a graham cracker base topped with a homemade pecan toffee layer, baked until bubbly and then cooled before cracking the entire pan into bits. I love to bake. And today I sent a bag of these sweets to the lovely team who works at the wildlife rescue center. That’s the best part about baking…sharing!
It’s a keeper!
