Something to moon over

Tonight was the Super Moon and I hope you all got to see it. I took a minute to enjoy it while walking the dogs this evening. Apparently tomorrow morning the moon will be closer to us than it has been since 1948. This made me think about the expression, "to moon over something."

According to the Macmillan dictionary, "to moon over something" means =

To waste time, or to pass time doing unimportant things

It seems to me that this is what all of us should strive to do more often...especially lately. Sure, we have to keep up with our responsibilities but we all need to make sure we have recess! If you have ever been in an elementary school, you know that it is very important for everyone that kids get a brain break and move around. The consequences of not having this are made very apparent on indoor recess days! So my question is why do we think this break time is not needed when we become adults? If we work from daybreak to bedtime day after day it takes a toll, physically and mentally... and I am guilty of this as I suspect many of you are. We need to stop feeling like we have to  fill every minute of every day with work. I know this is easier said than done...in fact I'm writing this because I have to convince myself to knock it off. 

So tomorrow as you say good morning, let that big ol' orb in the sky remind yourself to moon over how you will take yourself out to recess at least once every day....somedays you will probably even earn an extra recess! See ya on the playground!
