Do You Remember How?
As much as kids long to be adults, adults often wish they could be kids again – even just for a day. But when was the last time you really kicked back and had as much fun as a kid? Do you remember how to do it? Here are some of the things you enjoyed as a kid that might bring back great memories, and a smile.

• Before your driver’s license, you biked or walked wherever you needed to go. Chances are you explored a path or two that wasn’t part of your original plan or followed a rabbit or butterfly – at least with your eyes. So grab a bike or a comfortable pair of shoes and give it another try. You may be surprised at what you find.
   

• Wipe the cobwebs off the badminton set or grab the Frisbee on the shelf right next to it, and head out to the backyard. Before you finish setting up the net or get your practice throws in with the Frisbee, chances are someone will have joined you. Don’t worry about winning – just have fun knocking the birdie across the net, and give it the old college try to catch the Frisbee. Laughing out loud at everyone’s antics – including your own – may be the most fun.
   

• Grab your suit and some sun block and head for a pool or the beach. Don’t forget the beach ball, pail and shovel, and diving rings. You’re not heading there just to catch some rays; your mission is to build a castle, play Marco Polo or try to gather the diving rings faster than the “other kids.” Go ahead, it really is fun.
   

• Pack a picnic lunch and grab a fishing pole and blanket. Head to a local pond, lake or river, spread out the blanket and enjoy the meal. If you’re motivated enough to leave the blanket after lunch, you can always see what the fishing is like. But don’t feel obligated to try.
