Play first....

work later.  Sometimes we get stuck in the rut of always being on the run.  We have so much to do, we make lists and then, when we get off work, there we go.  Work, families, and stuff can take over our lives, not leaving us time to breathe, much less be silly and have a little fun.  I say, put play first, at least some of the time.  It doesn't have to be something lengthy, it can be telling someone a joke, or thinking of a time you laughed your head off.  It can be playing with someone like Catboy for a few minutes with the fresh catnip you dug from your garden.  It will be healthy and refreshing and give us a new perspective for the day.  Make a ripple, lighten up, see what happens.
