“We don’t stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.”
— George Bernard Shaw
It’s summertime, and even if you work full-time, it’s time to play! I don’t mean call in hooky or goof-off at work, I mean shift your brain to a schools-out-for-summer mentality. If you’re a nine-to-fiver, thank nature and daylight savings time for giving us extra time to frolic after work, whether you want to garden a little, go for a beach walk, or get some afternoon sun at the neighborhood pool. June 20th is the Summer Solstice, when we will get 14 hours and 16 minutes of glorious daylight. That means even if you work eight hours that day, you still have a full 6 hours 16 minutes to play, enjoy, bask, and have some fun.
