Feeling Alive..

"Don't ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."Howard Thurman

Mariam Hussain sent out this quote and i thought id share it with everyone here. I also found this really cute article on feeling like a kid all over again in my P&G subscription.

Here goes:

Follow our prescription for a little play therapy:

1. Buy a hula hoop
Go ahead, embarrass your kids. Ask for a pogo stick, hula hoop, or Chinese jump rope for your next birthday. Want a more practical reason? It's great exercise.

2. Bang that drum
Have you always wanted to play the drums, craft a clay pot, write poetry, or paint landscapes, but never found the time to learn? You're never too old to begin. (Remember Grandma Moses didn't start painting until her senior years.)

3. Red Rover, Red Rover, invite your friends over
When your kids complain that "there's nothing to do," or you're doing the complaining, relive your youth. Playing Red Rover, Freeze Tag, and Ghost in the Graveyard will get you started.

4. Dance the age away
Ballroom dancing (or belly dancing) anyone? Try taking formal dance classes, or just turn on some loud music and jump around your living room.

5. Be a team player (and not at the office)
You're an expert at driving the kids to soccer and basketball games. Maybe it's time to join a team of your own. Adult teams are usually less competitive than kids' teams, more fun, and great exercise.

6. Where the kids are
Who says waterparks are for kids? For an entire day of fun, gather your adult friends and head to the nearest amusement park, zoo, game room, or waterpark. Don't feel guilty. You can return with the kids another time.
