PLAY TIME?

On the weekend a friend of mine asked a general question, well I think it was more of a statement then a question, but it has begun to really trouble and bother me. It was asked if we notice how we don't 'play' anymore, how as children we used to just 'play.'

It really got me thinking, its so true (at least for me). I make coffee dates, or make plans to go tobogganing, or plane to meet up with my friends for a movie. I don't really just stop by randomly to hang out or 'play.' I also guess my living so far out in the boonies makes it difficult for others to pop in, also I think I can be a little shy and that always makes a conversation awkward, and no one really enjoys awkward talks. The whole notion of being able to just 'play' as I once did as a child sounds so delightful.
