One of my favorite memories from my childhood was making mud pies and pouring mud tea in the messy garden with my little sister. My Mom tells a story about how my Dad came home and saw his two girls covered in this mud and he stomps in like he thought she didn’t know what we were doing and says, “Sandi, those girls are covered in mud.” Mom simply replied, “Chris, they wash.”
Too often we don’t let them play because they will get dirty or they might get hurt or someone might see them. And guess what? We then do that to ourselves as adults! We don’t allow ourselves to play because we might get dirty or we might get hurt…or we might look silly in front of others. Oh the time we waste and the things we miss out on for these ridiculous reasons.
Go out and play! Experience! At the end of a Spartan race, I am a little banged up and alot dirty. And those races are some of my very favorite memories!
