12 Reasons to Make Time For Daydreaming

 

As a child, I loved nothing more than lying in the grass watching the clouds go by. For hours I'd allow my mind to wander and imagine. I'd create grandiose adventures and harrowing stories in those summer hours between late evening and dusk. And, at last, once the moon appeared I'd finally allow reality to walk me back to the safety of our little home. Perhaps, as a children, we all daydream. It is only when we become of age, entering adulthood, that we relinquish our daydreams to that fear of being silly.
