Fun for Fun

(click to enlarge)

I made this on Polyvore. I just played around a bit, without a plan or purpose. Just added images and words as I was scrolling through them. Made my mind blank and let my intuition play.

Happiness is doing things just for the joy of it. No reason. No purpose. Just fun. Like kids. We all like kids, don't we? We envy their abandon, their trust, their headlong leap into life. We need more of that in our adult lives.

There is a little bit of magic everywhere, and you don't really have to look to hard to find it. There are infinity possibilities for happiness everywhere. How exciting is that? :)

Feeling Good

This song has been in my head for days now.... Written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1965 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd. Performed here by Muse.

Sing along with me? :)




Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Reeds driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom in the tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all out havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good


Yeah Baby!!!

Wanna Play?


1. come play with me, 2. hoola hoops in as stack, 3. play, 4. Ayyy mista DJ., 5. colour chunks ii, 6. Birds on the wall, 7. playing the nine pins, 8. Palace Play Land, 9. Wanna play?

Did you know that Jamie Ridler is psychic? She must be because she did it again! She picked the perfect prompt for Wishcasting Wednesday! She asks:

Who or what do you wish to play with?

How did she know that today marks the end of three weeks of intense work hours for me? How did she know that after today, and for the next couple of weeks, I will be ready and willing to PLAY?

And what do I want to play?

I want to be a kid again and play games on a whim.
Tiddly winks and hoola hoops and rides!
I want to get my hands messy with art supplies and run with abandon in the field.
I want to learn how to hoop and hoop til I drop with exhilaration!

I want to make necklaces again like I used to and play with beads and stones and shells.

I want to get my fingers sticky with glue from making collages.

I want to make one huge playful MESS!

I want to get back to djing and play music to get people out of their seats and dance.

I want to play with color and fill my days with PLAYFUL JOY!

I want to play with everyone! My little friends and my big friends.
I want to fill the air with laughter of play.

I wish that every day is filled with the joy of pLaY!

Music Monday

If this doesn't get you outta your seat, nothing will! :)



Love this song and look at those guys flip! I wish I could do that. I will settle for doing

joy flips.

Jump for joy today. It's the perfect antidote to Monday Blahs for those of us starting the work week. If you're not starting the work week, then a joy flip is in order that you're not. HaH! :)

It has been tradition for me to wake up on Mondays with trepidation and wish I could stay home. Since I myself went to school.
So, Music Mondays have become my new tradition. It sets a better tone for the week.

I have a date with myself to go to a matinee after school. I will be getting some pop corn and Fresca and watching Star Trek. I'm excited!
Movie Mondays.
Yeah!
Another great tradition.
Music and movies. What better?


And this one is for Danette. You called it girl! LOL!

Happy Monday! :)
