Fun and games from your 11 year-old-self

Thinking back to what has brought me to where I am today, reminds me of an article that I read and subsequently lost.  Sorry there is no attribution this time. 
The article said that the sort of games you played when you were around 11years old  points to the way to finding the joy in your life right now.

Type of Play

What did you do for fun when you were young?  What was your inclination?

  • Did you enjoy building things?
  • Were you a maker, a craft person?
  • Were you an explorer?
  • A nature lover? A hunter
  • Were you creative?
  • Did you sing and/or dance 
  • What about painting?
  • If you were into stories, did you read them, or tell them?
  • Dress ups - was your imagination grand?.
Is It True? Are you still doing some variation of your childhood fun?

What do you think? I have been thinking back to what we loved to do in our backyard. Tree climbing, cubby houses, the obstacle courses we made ourselves.  Lots of singing. 

Over to you.

    1. It is so interesting to think upon our own history. History (capital H) is for very important people. Have fun.
      And thanks for commenting.
