I had some labs drawn recently that indicated my body was under stress. Honestly, a lot of it is self-imposed. How about you?
Seeing my labs brought to mind two statements I heard often while growing up. One was from my mom saying “don’t forget to pray” and one from my 3rd grade teacher: “work hard, so you can play hard”. My labs are reminding me not to forget to play, and don’t forget to pray. I write out my daily schedule and will now schedule in @ least 30 minutes of play time. For me that includes playing in my garden, enjoying the beach, sewing, laughing and cooking! Here are some fun recipes to play with: Jell-O is the first thing that popped into my head! Maybe it’s my age, but Jell-O is synonymous with fun! It’s wiggly and giggly, it’s super easy to make, comes in all kinds of colors and flavors and it makes you smile when you chew it! You can layer it or put it in fun molds and eat it as finger food. Prepare your favorite flavor as directed. My mom used to add a little sweet cream to peach Jell-O - SO GOOD! Make your own pizza party. Use Naan bread or English muffins as the “crust” and have a bunch of ingredients for everyone to make their own pizza. Suggested ingredients are red sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, spinach, olives, etc. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Cookies!! Shortbread Cookies - make with children or grandchildren for added amusement.
Cream butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add flour and cream. Roll out to ½” thickness. Cut into squares. Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes on a non-greased pan. I hope you will join me in adding fun to your daily schedule.
