Playgrounds.  That’s how I relate to the major areas of my life.  I take my life playfully serious.

I have a few different playgrounds in my life.  These seem to be the major ones that I play in on a daily basis:

• RELATIONSHIPS (marriage, parenting, family, friends, neighbors)
• RECREATION (music, running, cycling, home projects, basketball with my sons, movie theatre)
• FINANCES (budgeting, tracking)
• FAITH (ethics, theology, viewpoints, formation, beliefs, praxis)
• WORK (seeking vocational competency, creativity, and expression)
• HEALTH (eating, sleeping, exercising, self-care, compassion)

The idea is to attend to these playgrounds often because they’re very important to the life I long for.
