I feel like I'm always dodging a ball or that I'll strike out and let my team down. I suppose it's because I never learned to bat or shoot a three pointer, never mind the buzzer. I was pretty good at four square, when I was kid at heart, but I am so far outside of those lines these days. Now and again I get the chalk out just to play hopscotch, and remember how simple life used to be. But if I have learned nothing else, I can still beat myself at my own game and land on my own two feet. And that makes me a winner, even when I'm not. And I still count the minutes until recess. |

Simple is good. I could use some of it right now, in fact. As for me, I won more often than I knew, back then. Now I seem to lose more often than I know, and recess never comes. |

With an attitude like that, you will always be a winner in the game of life!  Meet you at recess and we'll have a ball!  EA |
