Paper Boats and Puddles

By In Musings
Rainy Day Play

It’s raining outside, so come on let’s play. Let’s fold colorful paper into paper boats and slip on our rain boots. We will get wet, but I don’t care. We are alive.

Let’s rest our knees in the cool water and race our boats until our hearts are soaked with joy. Let’s be children again.

Come on! Let’s go!

“If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I’ll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!”  ~ J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

    Thanks. Needed this. My Mom and Dad are aging and struggling and fighting amongst themselves. I’ve been down. May I learn to “play in the rain” despite the struggles.

    Aww, so sorry you have been feeling down. Yes! Pick up your camera and play, Marie.
    Blessings, sweet friend.

    That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It must have been all those years of home schooling! I wouldn’t even know where to start to make a paper boat! You are so creative, Mistress Mary!
