This picture shows you one of the various fun games we played during the baby shower; it’s the “ Guess What Kind of Baby Food It Is” game. We all had so much fun playing this game; everybody got at least the first couple right!
Have you ever wondered what lies beyond the city lights, the car noises, and society? Have you ever ventured past the trail paths and simply stood in silence and listened?

I really love everything about you and I want you to know that nothing about you is anything less than perfect. This is about how I feel.

Work and play here take on a different meaning, and become equivalent to servitude and freedom. The change consists in the subjective point of view from which the distinction is now made. We no longer mean by work all that is done usefully, but only what is done unwillingly and by the spur of necessity. By play we are designating, no longer what is done fruitlessly, but whatever is done spontaneously and for its own sake, whether it have or not an ulterior utility. Play, in this sense, may be our most useful occupation. So far would a gradual adaptation to the environment be from making this play obsolete, that it would tend to abolish work, and to make play universal. For with the elimination of all the conflicts and errors of instinct, the race would do spontaneously whatever conduced to its welfare and we should live safely and prosperously without external stimulus or restraint.
