Since when did taking joy in life become immature?

Some days it feels as if all the world is blind to the question above. Some days I feel as if I hold a secret, known to a very few in this section of the world.

I’ve seen adults look at children with so many different expressions. The indulgent ones, who patronize the imaginative — the happy ones, who sit on park benches and watch the little ones play, with memories of their youth in their eyes. The envious ones, too, who are nearly the same as the happy ones, except they are wishing to be sent back in time, to play as these children are.

Why can’t we, being part of the older generation, just jump up and play too? There are no rules saying we can’t — we simply don’t. And then we complain at home, to ourselves and to whoever is around to hear, that we miss ‘the good ol’ days’ when we were free to do as we wished. And then we turn and stare at anyone who does just that, as if they warped here from another planet.
 
Stick your head out a moving car window to feel the wind. Remember doing that as a kid? I loved that. Climb a tree (my personal favorite,lol). Go down a slide or swing on a swing. I used to get on, swing as high as I could, daring myself to try and reach the height of the nearest tree or closest building in my view. I still do that ... why not? Most importantly, people need to take the time to laugh a little.
 
There are no rules saying you can’t.
 
Plus - you’ll live longer.

 ~ Heya Laura ~ I don't mind gettin on the swings every now 'n then but I's pretty much done with climbin the trees. And what ever happened to a good old fashioned water gun fight. Haven’t seen one ‘a them in a couple ‘a years now. Oh well … When yer right, yer right girl. … Play On ! !

     I figured out what was happenin that the Bunker wouldn’t open. I had a blob in there that must ‘a got it’s 1;s ‘n O’s all mixed up when I hit the publish button. Took the blob out ‘n it seems to be opening just fine now. Odd thing that !

     Just about time ta get the taboggin out 'n get er waxed up eh. Haven't had the furnace on yet but it's deffinately not too far off.

Play safe ‘n take care Laura. Ciao Fer Now.

~ Smiles ‘n Happy {{{Hugs}}} ~

OMG, Laura's missing in action too!  LOL...it's like we have lives now.  What the hell happened?!  It's that damn maturity you wrote about.  Maturity = responsibility, I guess I don't know...I act the foo' all the damn time!

I find (through my observations) that it's the grown-ups that play with their kids who are able to relate to them better.  Thus, those kids tend not to act out in undesirable ways.
 
Long live being kids at heart!

Laura,
I saw this in the San Fran airport last year:
You're only young once, but you can stay immature indefinately!
Once again, you pick the best music... I come to your site for the music, but I stay for the musings

Precisely!!!!  Nicely said, now let's spread the world, so we have a happier world to live in and a little more darn fun.  I have the kid out of me way too much - in fact my nieces and nephew sometimes look at me like 'who's the kid here?'  - They hate sleep overs - but guess who's house they'll spend an entire weekend at?  YUP!!!  Mostly cause I'm just lucky or blessed, but I'd like to believe it's cause we have fun, we do silly things, we are kids.  We play 'don't jump on the white squares' in the mall - and the mall floor is about 75%, its a hoot - jumping all over the place, while people stare like we just smoked something good.  I love being in a convertible, driving on the highway, top down and the odd time - standing up and feeling the wind in your hair (not if you're the driver of course) ..... yup some cheesy flick thing I know, but I love it, speed, wind & the feeling of the freeing open road... nothing better!  We are all quirky, we just don't always do it, we hold it in - for fear of judgement.  I drive every day with the windows down, the sunroof open, the music playing and my arm out the window trying to capture the air as my arm dances in the wind to the tunes.... it's my wind down.  Love it!  Thanks for taking me to 'my happy place' - have a good night.

Just strolling through....I agree 100%. I am the same way. For some reason people have it their heads, that when you reacha certain age you can no longer have fun. Pfft I say to that. I am all about staying young forever ;)
 
Have a good one :D

immature to me is someone who can't stand back and see th whole picture. instead they refuse to enjoy life's little things like holding your hand out your car window and pretending its a plane wing.  i think i'm in on your lil secret.  i think what it comes down to is "what will people think"  and i say let them think it, i'm having fun.
