“Let’s play snowflake tag!”

I didn’t know how to play. Watching my granddaughter, it appeared to involve running in the snow flurry with your face turned skyward.

When was the last time you did something as simple as making up a game?

Adulting is complicated and stressful. Responsibilities of family, home, and work never leave, but they could for a moment.

In the time it takes to make up and play snowflake tag, you can briefly escape your complicated life.

Remember something simple and fun from your childhood. Then do it.

• Blow through a straw to make bubbles in your drink.
• Eat cinnamon toast.
• Make paper airplanes. See which flies best.
• Skate in your socks on the slick floor.

Don’t think about it. Just do it and smile.

A moment of simplicity is a moment of stress relief.

Adulting will wait.
