When you are resistant, your brain is fighting itself.  --The first five years (0-5) play is obvious we are willing to indulge it.  --"The sense of duty becomes our obligation – enrich the context (of learning) with the pleasure of connection." --Play vs. Execution --"Have fun so you don't crack—reenergize your energy for our own life."   Self-Care:  Dance to the song Defying Gravity by Idina Menzel.  Twirl and feel free! Play Idea: Drive around town and notice when something seems out of place.  Ask your kids to tell you the story of what happened.   Enjoy their big creative ideas and savor the moment.    Have an idea?
