It is something I need to embrace. I often feel so much guilt at "playing", because I feel it is wasting time that I could have used doing something productive, like cleaning house. For this reason, I have practically given up reading books this year (boo) because it "sucks up" so much of my time when I get absorbed. I have also given up video games... something else I really enjoy but another time "sucker". I haven't even played the Wii games Santa brought me last Christmas! Well, one of the three I have, but not the rest. How sad is that?
Ever since Cheri posted this quote, I have been carrying it around in my mind. I need to absorb it and believe it wholeheartedly. Hence, scrapping the layout so I could work on it for some time and have it ever present to remind me.
Bonus points for me - I finally used some of my Tim Holtz papers that I've been hoarding! Yay!
The video games improve your hand/eye co-ordination and keep your brain active - not a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteReading books gives enjoyment and improves your vocabulary - not a waste of time.
Scrapbooking records your family history or your state of mind (cheaper than therapy) - not a waste of time.
Being gentle with yourself - NEVER a waste of time.
Yay for Bernice! What an encouraging comment!
ReplyDeleteI agree, that we all need to have some "play time". It's just a case of not allowing it to become "all play" and "no work" really... I'm still trying to get the balance right myself.
The page is fun and I love the little painted words up the side - also the cute owl stamp.
Have a good day!
What Bernice said. Ditto.
