When Was the Last Time You Skipped?
What do you mean ’skipped?’
You know….SKIPPED!
The hippity hoppity gallop that came naturally to us as children, but that the majority of adults haven’t done since they were ten…SKIPPING!
Like Dorothy and the gang did arm in arm down the yellow brick road….SKIPPING!
As in expressing joy by leaping happily down the street without a care in the world??
There have been times when I have snuck in a little skipping as I walked down the street (though on the rare occasions that it happens it is usually because I’m so gitty with joy and full of energy that I swear I can’t control myself.)
And whenever it happened to me, it always felt so good, so natural… so RIGHT!
But then, of course, I force myself to stop because I feel like I’m doing something illegal… Like it’s illegal for a grown person to skip!
Which made me question: Where did it all go wrong???
Well according to one website:
Skipping down the road is something that is surprisingly challenging for most adults to do.
In order to do so, you must be willing to let go of your fears about what other people think about you. You must defeat your own inner critic that says “People will think you are crazy” and choose to let your childlike spirit have some fun.
If you can find the courage to do so regularly, you will be amazed at the feeling of freedom it can bring to your life. When the judgment of others is no longer an issue, magical things can happen.
I skipped into the living room and asked my husband when was the last time he had skipped…
He couldn’t remember!!!
So, how about you?

Its funny because I am kind of a jokester and I do it now and then with friends hanging out at a park (maybe before/after a game of football) to make everyone laugh. They tell me I look like a 6 foot 8 inch tall child. One guy even told me it made him embarrassed to watch.
