Hmmm.....

I was just thinking about life and how we limit ourselves when it comes to humor and laughter. Think about it? As babies, adults could control us until we learned how to walk. Once we started to walk we began to explore the world and laughed, giggled and smiled at everything that was new to us. That was what we wanted to do, all day long!! One day we woke up and our ability to play was limited because of the playpen. Why did they call it a playpen? Most toddlers hate the playpen. They scream, cry, yell, throw everything adults put in for them to play with out! Our natural instinct to explore was often taken away from us. And yet as adults some of us act like we are still in the playpen. Some adults don't take the time to find something funny to laugh at. Babies create their own humor and laughter. Some of us have lost that ability. Our barriers and challenges come from the world via our values, beliefs and standards about humor and laughter. Your VBS 's are being held hostage by the stress of surviving the day, the week, the month, etc. Your sense of humor can give you a new lease on life. Take a few minutes to view the video to see how babies get their giggles on!! Then ask yourself when was the last time I produced that kind of humor and laughter?
