Anyone who can laugh at themselves and finds life as “playful” as I do. And it is funny, no pun intended, but I usually connect easily with people who can do both of the above.
My grandchildren bring out my playful side! The oldest grands are adults now and the youngest are in high school, but we have some good times. They like to play board games and are really good at cheering me on with some of the new games they play. Two of the younger grands (brothers) are nearly impossible to beat at board games because they help each other so much, it’s two against Grandma!
My best friend, Susana, should’ve been an actress or stand up comic. She expresses herself so dramatically and makes me laugh. My husband and I find humor bouncing back and forth between us. Being in Lake Michigan waves always makes me jump up and down with joy. My sister is good for a laugh too.
A group of us friends were recently at some sand dunes. It’s impossible to walk around sand dunes without laughing and playing. Sand dunes are ridiculous fun! So, while I can’t pinpoint that one playful person right now, I will thank the dunes for invoking play in all of us.
My dear friend Joanna and here on gratefulness daily question, Michele. My sister Mary (RIP) should have been a standup comedian and I miss her very much.
Who often starts my day with a giggle is “our own” Michele with the national theme of the day, like “spit cherries,” or fart day, or other humorous action that needs to be let out (no pun intended) 😉 Peace to all ☮️🫶😂chuckle as you’re able. .
My sister and one of my best friends. Both are hilarious; both are observers of humanity and know how to turn any situation into a comedy (or at least find the humor in it.) And my sister (Rose) has always been somewhat of a daredevil. So in lots of situations I find myself asking “WWRD?” to bring some levity, fun, adventure or silliness to a situation or boredom.
At this time, I’d say… Loc. Besides him, I have another friend, but we rarely see each other. I’m on my way to expand my social network. It’s not easy, but I’m doing what I can. Happy Tuesday, everyone!
Beyond Ngoc, my mom is upbeat and able to find levity into everything. The original saying is “Like Father Like Son.” Here, it’s “Like Mother Like Son.”
Martin is another friend beside Angela from McNally Smith College of Music. He enjoys my comedy songs. He’s the one I know from a songwriting class together in the spring semester of 2016.
Speaking of Angela, she’s innocent like a dove. She’s the same one who introduced me to RLM Discord. She and I know Brandon since 2018 when attending an RLM session at his house back then. What a small world.
I talked about Brandon quite a bit yesterday. He’s got quite a sense of humor in his Red Letter Ministries videos when he preaches about having a relationship with Christ. He has a way of bringing levity into religion.
Lots of different things trigger my playful side. I definitely feel playful when I hang out with my best girlfriend. We just hit our 30 year anniversary of being BFFs. My husband brings out my playful side, especially when we do our mountain drives. We’re extremely into driving on curvy roads, and the inner naughty child loves this and my husband is extremely skilled and driving with him is exhilarating.
My dogs and the students in my gentle yoga class. While it’s a gentle class, we really have a lot of fun together. Joy is an important part of our practice 😄
This morning I got to take a walk with a friend after meditation and I have known her now for over 20 years. I’m so blessed to have even one good friend I can talk to about absolutely everything! I’m. Wry grateful, thank you universe! Today during our walk we alighted, laughed, smiled and shared together. We also were mindful of the beautiful nature all around us and how peaceful and fortunate we are to even have this moment.

We used to take a big plastic garbage and try to “sled” down them, laughing at our attempts!
Ha, I want to try that now!
The dunes,
dear Drea,
are like the Quintessential Sandbox. 🙂
They really are–an all-ages sandbox!

Yes,

Michele
often makes me laugh as well. 🙂

Carla, “Fart Day” is my favorite of all.

The word of the day brought out an out loud giggle. Thank you grateful team.

My Ngoc, I know who you’re talking about. She brings out my playful side too. I’ve seen her before with you.

My children, my brother-in-law he has a way of lightening a mood and helping you laugh at yourself.
My goal is to make this answer myself- I need to spend more time finding more “play”.
I confess,
dear Deann,
that I too,
need to ‘spend more time finding play.’ 🙂
