Dear Beautiful and Playful Dolphin


I needed to be reminded of your playfulness today. You amaze me
with your graceful and high, jumps!!
I am restless and I don't know what I want or need right now.
Your gentle grace gives me peace and joy.

Playfulness is something our culture runs from.
We haven't got time, we're adults, get serious, grow up!!
And yet, what have we lost when we do not take time to play?
Healing, refreshment, renewal, joy, time with loved ones and time with ourselves.
Are these not valuable gifts?
Allowing ourselves to enjoy these gifts empowers us to move forward
in a more creative and vibrant manner.
Is that not a value worth our time?

What more would you like us to know dear Dolphin, your wisdom is truly needed and desired.

BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELVES! You keep demanding perfection of yourselves and
that is far from necessary!
When you are enjoying what you are doing on a regular basis
you will see and feel a big difference within you.

How can you enjoy your hectic daily schedules and your long work hours?
Start making things easier for yourselves.  Do what you need to do, not what you think
you have to do.  Be attentive and focused so that each task can be completed without
several tries due to multi-tasking.
Take things in small steps rather than trying to complete the whole package at one time.
Take time out for quiet and fun
when you feel overwhelmed.
Don't be afraid to ask for help, laugh!
BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELVES

Again, do what you need and want to do, not what you think you should do.
You are not responsible for everything and everyone!
Find ways to make things simpler and even fun.!
It is not a one size fits all, find YOUR way and watch
your energy rise and your tasks completed in a timely, creative and well done manor.

Enjoy a deeper and richer connection with family and friends.
It doesn't have to be a big event or large amount of time.
Take time out to be in nature, make ice cream sundaes as a family.
Do what you enjoy, together.
You may say this is all impossible and that is your CHOICE.
Be willing to give it a try and find out for yourself!!

Dear Dolphin, thank you..this makes so much sense,
give me the willingness and wisdom to make
the choices and changes I need.
