rest. play. pov.

sorry it's been so long since i've added an entry. or entered an addition. whichever way you choose. life's been full. for me, full of rest. full of play. full of exploration and finding newness in the familiar. same for you? i hope so -- and shall i say, i certainly expect so. if not, well, then, you've got some re-adjusting to do if you're going for the win.

i do love to curl up in a cozy spot. if the sun's available, then i take it up on its offer of delicious warmth. nothing like a good nap. or even just a snoozy rest. meditation. stillness. yes. let your mind wander. wherever it wants to go. there's a feeling of safety and security. calm. but don't you dare call me lazy. this is the opposite of laziness. i am recharging, laying the groundwork of creation and of action, reconnecting to and with my Self (ooh - note the capital 's') and with Energy (again note the capital). important stuff that. the most important stuff.

on to play. lots of play! in all its forms. me? i had a great time the other day chasing a paper ball around. simple stuff is sometimes the most fun. i also engaged in some serious shall we say "cat and mouse" activity involving a knitting needle and a blanket. again, simplicity. try it out. just for fun. i do enjoy making my own fun. and sometimes i ask for help in having fun. i know that sounds crazy -- needing help to have fun. but i suspect a lot of you reading this know exactly what i'm talking about -- and find yourselves in need. granted, it isn't due to your lack of opposable thumbs - lucky. but sometimes we forget what it is to have fun - how to do it. how often. (with regularity is the answer to that one.) be a fun-seeker. engage others in your quest for fun. let them help you have fun. another win-win for the win.

exploration and finding newness in the familiar. sometimes i amaze even my feline self -- even though i live in a relatively confined environment, i still am capable of exploring and discovering. i'm a regular lewis or clark -- finding new paths to undiscovered countries within the four rooms of my dwelling place. in all earnestness, yeah, i probably am familiar with every square inch of this place. and yet, i still can find surprise and excitement within those square inches. sometimes it's simply a matter of changing perspective. that same old thing looks different when i'm up above it looking down. when life feels dull, stale, at a standstill -- i like to get up high. literally. get up on top of the bookshelves or the cabinets or the refrigerator or even on someone's shoulder -- and look down. look at things differently. it changes everything. even if only for a little while. it's enough to make a difference. sometimes it really is just about changing your point of view.

rest. play. point of view.

the good life.

time for me to jump up in the closet, then chase a dust bunny and find a soft spot to curl up in. ah - a full and perfect day.

later -
