Carnaval fun

Anytime after New Years and before Lent is the appropriate time to engage in Carnaval fun here in Ecuador. Bottles of Carioca (shaving cream), water bombs, buckets of water thrown around in a national event of fun. We abstained from eggs and flour, too messy to clean up!

This was a good opportunity to have some play time, something I've been thinking about a bit. How as adults can we incorporate more play into life, as a way to welcome joyful moments and healthy laughter. I find I get too serious for far too long. I need to seek the lighter moment, the opportunity for joy. It's good for me, and for the people around me!
