My Connection to Play

"Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do.  Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do." ~Mark Twain

Play was supported my family members.  When I was younger we would play in the neighbor hood, the neighborhood where I was raised was majority family members.  We mostly played outside daily if the weather permitted.  I can remember sharing one bike throughout the entire neighborhood.  Every child rode the same bike.  This taught us how to share and respect each other. 

 

 

Today, most kids play inside rather than outside.  Their parents spend a lot more money on gadgets than what my parents spent back in the 1980's.  I feel that if the kids now would be more creative with play , it would help their parents save tons of money, and the kids would be a lot more active.

 

 

My thoughts on play during my childhood, as a child we had to think harder than the kids today about play.  For, example, we had to be very creative, we had to create games and rules for play time.  This allowed my parents to use their hard earn money to pay the bills in the household.  Today, the kids are causing more stress on their parents about purchasing playstations games, ipads, computers, and cell phones.  Which causes some households to be in financial debts. 

Relationship Reflection

To me, developing a relationship is very important, because it helps us to grow into deeper connections with people in our surrounding.  Relationship is when two or more people become more familiar with one another, with hopes to form a relationship.

In my life I have had the opportunity to develop relationship with several people.  My family is the first people I developed a relationship with.  Growing up my parents taught me how to trust people, and get to know people for who they are, rather than what people think about some one.  My family is a loving and caring group of people, that loves and cares with all their heart.  Second, my husband is another person that I developed a relationship with.  He came into my life over 15 years ago, and we became friends and then lovers.  We use to spend a lot of time together, such as, going out to eat, walking in the park, and visiting our family members together.  Often times we would share important information with each other that we have never told anyone else, personally I was testing him out to see would he disclose my information.  My husband has never shared any of the information with anyone, else at less, I have not heard it again.  This is one key factor in developing a relationship is trusting someone, and being able to be trusted.

Another key factor in developing a relationship is to be able to see a person's true color.  One should spend time observing that person's character, and get to know the person for who he/she is.
