It started out as a napkin I was going to use one morning but I blew the text. I don’t know what it was suppose to say now, but I either left out a word before ‘both’ or wasn’t suppose to use that word to begin with. As a result I tossed it aside and started using it to test marker and pen colors. In doing so I filled the napkin up with small marks until there was no more room.
Both
I decided today I would turn the square of random marks and words into something and this is what I came up with. What do you think it means?

I know what you are thinking…’wow, that is so very random.’
Want to have fun and smile? Do this via email with a co-worker or friend today. Write one sentence and ask the other person to write another one slightly, but randomly, connected to the first one. Not a story type connection, just random thoughts. You can’t answer any questions, you have to just move on with a new thought or new questions. Don’t get yourself fired by saying something stupid though, ok?
Like this:
Did I tell you that this week is National Pancake week? Where did pancake makeup come from, anyway? Isn’t all cake made in a pan? What tree did Pan make his flute out of? Is a fluted column always going to have a Corinthian top? Is Corinthian leather really made in Corinth? Is there a bank in Corinth called 1st Corinthian Bank? etc. etc. etc.

‘Childish’ can refer to the immature and baby-like tantrums that children sometimes have. The author is not referring to that type of ‘childish’.
He is referring to the ‘child-like’ activities of joy and wonder and fun and exploration. The unself-conscious ability to play in the rain and get muddy, the ability to wrestle with your dog or play hide and seek with your cat. He is talking about having fun in harmless ways.
Do you still have that in you?

No more series for a while. Just a relaxing, funny quote and drawing for you to consider.
I know there are many who don’t like having anything hanging over them and can’t relax as long as that is there. But there are others who allow that things will get done, and some things won’t and it’s ok. They are the ones who can relax and enjoy life in spite of having things to do and people to see.
I am in that category. What category are you in?
