Forgiveness - Let Go Of Past Hurts
I would say with certainty that someone has caused you pain at some time
in your life. It may have been unintentional or deliberate. The
question is, have you forgiven the person who hurt you and put the past into
the past or are you still carrying around feelings of resentment? The
ability to offer forgiveness is vital to mental health and happiness.
The easiest way to find forgiveness is to assign a motive to the actions
that caused you pain. Recall a time when you got angry or upset by
someone else's words or actions. Why do you think they said or did
that? Perhaps they were tired, jealous, thoughtless, careless or
well-meaning.
Remember, you don't have to continue to associate with a person who has
wronged you, just consider, they've probably forgotten the incident a long
time ago! Time for you to let go as well.

Play A Thinking Game -
The Game Chain
Player one names a familiar game (or sport) and
identifies a particular piece of equipment that is used in that game.
Player two names a different game that uses the same (or similar) piece of
equipment and then names a different item required for the second game.
Player three continues the chain.
- Bases are needed to play baseball.
- Bases are also needed to play kickball. You also need a ball.
- With a ball you can play wall-ball. Boundary lines are necessary
for play in wall-ball.
Note: It is okay to use the same piece of equipment again during
the game, lots of games use balls for example, but each new game must be
unique. How long of a chain can you build?
