We don’t stop playing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop playing.
~George Bernard Shaw
So, it’s been like for.ev.er since I’ve participated in Awww Monday. So long, in fact, that I’m probably considered a newbie again! But that’s how my summer has gone……and, it’s literally GONE!
This quote really hits home since Entrepreneur cannot do a lot anymore without paying for it with extreme fatigue afterwards because of the daily, oral chemo he must take to keep the cancer at bay. So, his situation is a little different than most. He wants to go and play…..but physically, he just can’t go 90 miles an hour with his hair on fire like he did before.
Now me, on the other hand….I feel like I’ve aged 10 years this past year. And, most of that is because I’ve not “played” much. So, I completely understand this quote.
Cabo luuuuvs to play. At all hours of the day. In fact, his most favorite time to play is when I sit down for the evening to decompress. It’s not uncommon to find this 50 pound pupper in my lap with a ball of some kind in his mouth. 🙂
I guess he fully believes it’s his job to keep me from growing old!
Blog hopping today with Sandee and her crew over at Comedy Plus/Awww Monday.
No you’re not a newbie and it’s great to have you jump aboard the Awww Monday hop. I’ve missed you but life can get in the way at time. Now you just need to play a bit. I love that quote. It’s so very true.
Have a woof woof Awww Monday. My best to your wonderful mom. ♥

Lisa, that quote and your photograph of Cabo are perfection!
And it’s so true, I’ve always believed that keeping a childlike sense of “play” is what keeps us “young at heart.”
Wonderful post, my friend! 🙂 Have a fabulous week!

Play is just one more reason to keep dogs and cats in my life. I wonder if George had pets.
