Imagi-Nation


So here I am, sitting home being bored and what better plan could one have to stifle boredom than to surf the good old net? I happened across the website of a photographer named Jan Von Holleben. This is where I found the above picture. This got me thinking...where does your imagination go as you get older? When I was a kid I could entertain myself for hours with a piece of string and a button. Give me a piece of string and a button now and I would probably just store them away with all of the other strings and buttons I collect 'just in case'... What the heck? Have I forgotten how to make a button string? I need to make one of those...they are always good for at least a couple minutes of entertainment, right?

I think we all need to learn how to be kids again. I bet all of our major health problems would reduce by great percentages if we as adults would just take some time out of our days to climb a tree, or make a nice finger painting. Maybe this is one of the 'new things' I will try whilst enjoying my own company...who knows...
