I

was playful as a young person, a trickster actually, but like many of us life had made me much more serious . It was Mum who led the way to becoming more playful. It required less energy for her and MOST importantly when we were playing she perceived that she was not a burden. It is so important to the people that love us, that they do not appear to be a burden to us. Think about this, put yourself in their situation. Learn to become more playful. It is a gift for you both. Lead the way and make sure you never miss an invitation to be playful - especially when times are tough.
