There was a time when I used to...

There was a time when I used to...

- nap on my roof in the summertime 
- learn a new song on piano and sing my lungs out at 1:00am 
- shoot baskets in my driveway until 9:00 at night, without thinking of the time or the weather
- hang out with my dog and enjoy his company 
- practice tricks on my BMX for hours... getting up, falling down, and injuring myself past reason
- write passionately about making a difference, whether it was an article, or a rap song. 
- rap out loud everywhere I went, no matter who stared at me. It was dope. 
- lie on my bed, stare at the ceiling, and just get lost in thought with my favourite bands in the background.
- disappear into the pages of a fiction novel and experience adventures across time and the world. 
- kick a hackey sack around for hours anywhere, whether it was at an airport or a shopping mall. 
- speak frequently at Toastmasters and give my time to helping others improve their speaking skills
- pick a random pasta dish that I wanted to try cooking, and cook it. 
- explore construction sites at night without thinking of the consequences. 
- spin a random person around in dance class and feel not just the music but the connection of a fellow human being.  

More often than not, the most fulfilling things in the world don't cost a thing. 

What will you pick up today that you haven't done in a while? 

Let me know! 

Ps. We should start a '5-Year-Old Club' where you can join at any age, but you HAVE to act like a 5-year old.
