Day 86

Well must admit today it was pretty hard initially, umm could see things I could be grateful for but when you’re tired.......... IT's hard to really articulate. (especially if not being truthful to self....easy way out) I really want to be true to myself in this blog (unfortunately/or fortunately for readers). So tonight I changed my mind half way through as I was writing, (so new picture and storey)

Football/Soccer ............yes grateful for the game of soccer (or the soccer ball), a game that at times has been marred by its fans for violence. In the last 3 weeks soccer has been a principal part in forming and supporting the growth of friendships in the group I have been facilitating.

 When you have a group of 9 -12 yr old males and females many disputes can arise over rules, pts, logistics of playing a friendly game. NO such thing for this group, it was a bonding experience, a time when they actually started supporting and working together. No fights, no winging.

And dam if those 'Yellow' and 'Red" cards don't work outside of the game not that this group needed it but an 11 yr old boy sees you pulling out a 'red card'. Behaviour check…… self-initiated. For a league girl......I so love the football (soccer)
