There I was watching MOM work. I am being a good boy and keeping my promise to let her get stuff done. But a part of our relationship is taking care of each other. So I have decided to make sure MOM takes needed breaks and the most important part of that is having fun together: to see her smile, laugh and enjoy the beauty around her. So I put my head on her shoulder as she was reading and writing and gave her the look. Proverbs 17:22 says "A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength." So when I sensed MOM needed a fun break this is what we did.
Bubbles!!!
What's more fun than this?
This IS fun!
If fun is missing from your life, it’s time to get it back. Research shows that playing and having fun is important for good physical and mental health. Having fun doesn’t mean being irresponsible. Make time to do something that has so many proven benefits is perhaps the most responsible thing you could do.

Come here little BUBBLE
See MOM I told you this would be fun
Weeeeeee
Here are a few questions to ask yourself. Do You?... Give yourself and others permission to be silly, to laugh, to have fun? Run out to greet each day? Laugh out loud more than once a day? Plan for fun on a regular basis? Take regular "fun" breaks during the day? Consider fun an important part of your personal and professional life? Surround yourself with upbeat, fun people and dogs and see the beauty all around you?
"A happy heart is like good medicine, but a broken spirit drains your strength."
Did you know that there are 65 scriptures in the Bible about having fun and playing? Make sure you have some fun today.
Blessings,
Goose
Those bubbles are so fun

Great advice Goose! If the snow would stop, I'd definitely be up for some bubbles! Winter going out like a Lion!
ReplyDeleteGoose, this is so true! My assistant appreciates this post as she is guilty of scheduling too much serious stuff and not enough fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
oH, hOW much fun are you having. I love to look at your ears when you play. Those pictures with the bubbles are great..
ReplyDelete.great...great...
Your mom sure does give good advice. I especially like the idea of having fun every day.
See ya

That's fantastic advice, Goose! Mom says that during her work, she does have quite a bit of fun. PreK is good for people who like to have fun! You can bet that we dogs work on reminding her, too. Kuster makes her play hide and seek every night now! BOL!

Great post Goose! I have a sneaking hunch there's going to be a ton of fun at our house very shortly!!!
ReplyDeleteWise words indeed, dear friend! Bubbles are such fun and full of delight. As dad likes to say, "You have to remember to take time to smell the hostess!" Momma told me he really means "smell the ROSES" but I don't see what's wrong with HIS version.
ReplyDeleteThe jobs I have disliked the most were ones where the management frowned on laughter. It is always good to have some fun everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding us, Goose.

I think that maybe I need some bubbles. I'm getting some the next time I go to town. You make it look like bubbles might cure my soul, Goose.
ReplyDeleteA sad soul does drain the body as well. I now have my second bad infection in the past 2 weeks, first my eye and now my ear. I need some bubbles!
Thanks Goose. You are one wise dude.
I love bubbles!! Great advice!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like alot of fun! We luf those pics of you, Goose. We hope our Mommy doesn't see this as a big "green light" to do sumthing goofy. (bless her heart) Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteWise words, Goose ! Sometimes 2 legged guys forget that it's important to have some fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd looks like you had a lot of fun with the bubbles - I'm going to tell mom that I want some bubbles too !...
Kisses

It has been a really bad week for me, and your post is exactly what I've done today--Proving that you are so, so right!! THANK YOU for this post and reminding me to have fun and enjoy the day!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I think too many people forget that life is about feeling your joy. We get so busy - this is why dogs are such an important part of our lives. They bring us such happiness and joy.
ReplyDeleteHi Goose, I loved this post and so glad you convinced your mom to take a fun break. I have found that since we retired I laugh so much more. Of course our grands make us smile and laugh constantly. Thank you so much for reminding us to take time and have fun; life is too short to be serious all the time. You're the best!!!!
ReplyDeleteNoreen & Reggie
Woof to you Goose!!!! I'm going to keep that proverb in my back "pawket" to give to my assistant when she starts to get stressed and serious. This state of mind seems to afflict my 2 legged friends far more than my 4 legged friends. XXOO - Mazzie
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful wonderful post Goose!!!! I am writing this down and putting it on the refrigerator!!! Thank you so much !!!
ReplyDeleteHowdy Goose, we sure do love bubbles too. Have a wonderful weekend. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteGoose..bubbles are such fun! We love to have fun and our Mum & Dad are always having fun with us.We makes them laugh at our antics.

ReplyDeleteAs Vickie wrote on her last post, "Bubbles and Joy and Fun and Happiness. Life is so good."
It is indeed. We have only to stop and notice all the wonder around us just begging for our eyes to fall upon.
Thank you for all the inspiration! Bless you and bless Goose!
Great post. And great idea too. We haven't played bubbles in awhile.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like sooooo much fun, Goose! I love bubbles and I think my dogs would love them too! I'm going to have to try it with them :) And your post was 'pawesome!"
