What do you get the most out of in your free time? I know @tina likes to paint and take photos. Everyone else? I enjoy reading and quiet time, and watching football (soccer).

I am a father. Do I HAVE to take care of my 12 and 14 year olds? Think about that. My natural answer is yes. However, the truth is NO, I don't. Now, of course I am going to, but I DO get the choice. How do you think this affects my mindset for the positive?

We started by inviting one friend...and his small family for today. Then, my extended family was planning something.....so we invited them too. We went from 4 to 7 and now it is 27. Not sure if I will see much of the match.

So, yesterday my daughter (12) started "revealing" stuff from school and said "My German teacher hates me". So, I challenged her. How do you know that? Did you ask her if she hated you? No, of course not. Well, how do you know then, can you mind read? No. But here's the truth, within our own heads we "make up stories". We are meaning making machines and often we are barking up the wrong tree. Tell us about a time you or someone you know "got the wrong end of the stick" by just thinking it.

My highlight was getting up early on Sunday morning for a run. It was cold, misty and there was almost no one around. I definitely had a "runner's high" afterwards to be able to say I had done my run and had energy for the day ahead. What good thing did you make happen this weekend, no matter how small.
