This warmed my heart in a way I didn´t know I needed. Life gets too serious sometimes, and this reminded me to take it easy and play with it. Thank you <3

I absolutely love this!💌 I think it helps us add a little whimsy to our life, but also reminds us to look for the whimsy that's already there. I always over look the silly voice I speak to my dog with, or the way that I'll put on music and dance with my cat in the kitchen when it's sunny.

This was an amazing read!! I believe I saw the same post on TikTok that you were referring to, and I really enjoyed reading the comments on said TikTok. Also, when I see people speeding when driving, I say “oh, they must have a flight to catch” or “they must be late for work”

What a fun read. I think a lot of readers appear to be in stitches while reading this in public.

I tell my cat ‘it is snowing’ when I found excess floof on my fabrics.

I saw this same tiktok and I’m so happy you’ve written about it. It’s wonderful how we all have different rituals, as you put it, to add to our lives. Thank you for summarizing and putting it all together so we can all be more goofy and whimsical

It was too good to not summarize!

I am grinning as I've always named my/our cars and I talk to (and refer to) them as if they were members of our family (because they are!) all the time. Laughing now as I remember my husband playfully asking me early in our relationship, "do you always make (inanimate) things talk?" Ummm... pretty much! 🤭

Reading this post felt like a welcomed breath of fresh air and it still has me smiling. An invitation to add more whimsy to my daily life? Yes, please!

I totally resonate with the second one on animals!😸 Because they’re living as well it often feels like they understand and respond to my whimsy. Especially my cat who meows when I speak to her it’s crazy☺️
