“The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and the spirit heals with joy.” — Proverb

Music to my ears

Laughter of children playing

Pandemic be gone

One of the things I missed due to the coronavirus-related restrictions last year was the sounds of children playing outdoors with gleeful abandon. Once the pandemic subsided a bit, it was indeed a pleasure to see and hear kids outside again.

Fortunately, allowing kids to play outdoors is one of the safest activities during the pandemic. Nature and the outdoors are good for the mind, body, and soul for children and adults.
