Kyle called last night – it was time for a ‘Top Up!’ Kyle sounded very happy, as he is in Germany visiting the love of his life, Sarah. So we exchanged views and news. When it was Sarah’s turn to talk she came on the phone with her usual light-hearted tone and laughter. How infectious that is! Soon I was giggling and smiling too.
“You sound particularly happy this evening Sarah,” I commented. “What have you been up to today?”
“We’ve just been skipping home…and that was so-o much fun! I felt like a five-year old again!” She said with delight. I had visions of my six foot-two son, who is built for rugby and his fiancée who is petite and small by comparison, skipping home arm in arm and I found myself smirking and smiling even more.
We can all benefit from acting like a child more often. Revisit your childhood today and do something different, something out of the ordinary, something silly and fun – just for the heck of it! Many people take life far too seriously and miss out on so many simple pleasures. Don’t be one of them…
As for me? I am going to be skipping through today and having a lot of fun in the process. Why not join me ….
And if you come up with any other ideas that involve joyful activities associated with childhood, please share them with us.

What an excellent idea Eilidh, thank you for sharing such a joyful start to an otherwise gloomy Monday morning.
Today I am "Skipping" into a new project. It's a 3mt contract. So all thoughts are on this for me. However, as I move about, I shall visualize us skipping down the Hight St together Eilidh!
Seize the Day!
