Do you play in your real life? What does play mean to you?

In the middle of Osaka on a Saturday night

Do you play in your daily life? What says “playtime” to you?

It means reading 📚 a lot of books.

Dancing around to music.

Trying out cocktails or exotic teas with unusual flavours.

Swimming in the ocean, I am very fortunate to live right next to the beach and I am grateful for this.

Laughing and chatting with PB or other friends.

Going to see live music or a music/ arts festival.

Walking or cycling along the beach.

Cooking and eating yummy food.

Eploring craft markets, libraries, bookshops, museums and art galleries.

Rearranging my loungeroom which essentially is decorated like the inside of my brain, and also like this blog…with a lot of eclectic, colourful, unusual and wonderful items to gladden the heart.

Taking my neice or nephew on some intense adventure on rollercoasters, snorkelling, cycling or ice-skating.

This has turned into an exercise about all of the things I am deeply grateful for in life. I only wish I was less of a workaholic and did more of these fun things. However, I also consider my work to be a fun activity and the joy of my life.

As the old saying goes. “Find the thing you love doing and you’ll never work a day in your life”. In my case this is true but it did take a long time to find the job I really liked.

What about you? What do you consider play?

  1. Oh, how interesting! There’s so many things to consider as to play. Thank you for sharing those 😊. I have no idea myself what I consider play, but you gave me a few ideas.
