Making time. Still learning time spent alone doing as I choose, whether downtime on a computer game or humming along to a song in my garden or crocheting gifts or meeting with friends... all time spent wisely and well! Good reminder!

Life can’t be all work and seriousness. Everyone needs time to play! I have never played D&D, but I do like playing games.

Playing in some form or other is essential to our well-being.

What a fun story. I’m happy she decided to join. It’s important to never lose our creative outlets and imagination!

We tend, as we get older and take on more responsibility, to let go of the things that bring us happiness and build resilience. Play is so important. We should emphasize that more with our children.

This is a fun story, and I think I may have a new pastime soon.

I play virtually. I found a great online group through D&D Beyond's forums. I'm still careful about seeing too many people.

If you're interested, check out Dungeons and Dorks on Discord. They're always starting new games and are amazing at mentoring players new to the game (like yours truly)

do you actually go somewhere to play or do you play virtually?

I wish I was a fantasy kind of person! My taste runs more to word games, bingo, or solitaire! I like matching games too.

These are all great games! Who knows, you might be a fantasy person but might not have had the opportunity to find out. Or not. Either way, as long as you have something you enjoy, that's all that matters!

I know nothing about that game, but I do watch Stranger Things and can’t wait for the new season.

The first half is out. The second half drops tomorrow! I won't be able to watch until Saturday, though, because Friday is my D&D night.

This is new for me. I only started playing in March, but I'm loving it!
