Do You Make Time For Silly?

March 11, 2011

With our incredibly busy lives it can be a struggle to make time for the things that make us happy. As a mom, a wife, a business owner –  it can get overwhelming. Balance can be a struggle.

I was chatting with my mom yesterday (who i talk with every day) and we were talking about things that make us smile. My mom has all the answers & i mean that with true sincerity.  You know what she said?

We need to make more time to twirl and sing.”

Think about that for a second…

:: Now do a huge, floaty twirl ::

… {insert huge, floaty twirl here, i will wait…}

& now try to tell me you didn’t smile. right?

not possible. You can’t twirl and not smile.

We need to take time out of our busy, day to day schedules to do those small things that make us smile.

We need to twirl, sing, dance like a crazy person, run with our arms flinging, laugh, tickle, and just be silly!

Making time for silly is what I lost when I was lost. And now I cherish it. I so loved this post. So simple and yet so profound for me. Makes me giggle and smile just thinking of it!

Yes!! Reminds me of spinning round and falling over and finding it the most hilarious thing ever as a kid, that slightly out of control feeling of excitement and just a smidgen of risk… We’re trying to create a space that feels a bit like that at http://www.Storyofmum.com, encouraging mums to make time for their own fun silly inspiring moving thoughtful creative moments and sharing that with other mums. Would love to know what you think.

YES – how we used to be so silly when we were kids – that is so what us adults need to do. LOVE the idea of your site :)
