You're never too old to have a Play Day or Play Date. It isn't something just for babies or toddlers.Dogs have play days, so why shouldn't you?
You're never too old to play. Scientists say play is a vital part of childhood. It unleashes the imagination. It encourages creativity. It lets a child work out their fears or worries.
The same is true for teens and adults. Let yourself have fun. Do something that lets your creativity loose. Draw. Color. Dress a doll. Play with miniatures. (Pictured is the witch's greenhouse I'm working on. More pix, see my blog.) Make a card. Do rubber stamping or make a scrapbook page. Try a new hobby.
Enjoy yourself! You'll feel better. You'll have a better, more balanced view of life. You'll smile. And we all can use more of those, can't we?
** I collect miniatures. And Sam, with her bff Lita, are hunting for a lost miniature painting in Searching For A Starry Night, A Miniature Art Mystery. Many of the miniatures described are in my collection. I'll be sharing some of those photos soon.

I can't agree more. If you are creative--and aren't all writers?--you need alternative creative activities to stimulate your mind. This works well for perceived "writer's block" too, giving your brain a much-needed vacation into something different.
I love miniatures, too. We have a museum here in Los Angeles called, imagine this, the Museum of Miniatures. It's a wonderful diversion.
