That's Gus below. He's my daughter's dog/almost person. Today in Denver I took him for a walk in City Park. I think this picture of Gus is a great example of play. For us as adults it can be difficult to just play and give ourselves the permission to enjoy the moment and not be concerned about productivity. Usually, early in a relationship play and playfulness abounds between a guy and gal. As we grow in our careers and responsibilities we can lose that light heartedness. Everything has to have a purpose. It's soul numbing.

So, that place in your heart of play that this picture of Gus stirs in your heart, find it and live some from it.
