FINDING PERSPECTIVE

When I’m watching a football match I can’t bear to hear ‘supporters’ shouting negativity, abuse or ridicule at players they think are not performing well, even if what they’re saying might have a hint of truth. I don’t believe that players ever do better when their own ‘fans’ are screaming abuse at

Ready Or Not, Here I Come!
As children we used to play a game called “Hide and Seek.” The object of the game was for someone to be “It” while the others ran to hide. Whoever was “It” had to hide their eyes, count to a predetermined number, and then go and find all the hiders. The hiders, meanwhile,
