Anika’s Pick of the Week 8

People can sometimes see life as a game and quite truthfully it is not.  I KNOW you know this because you have lived in this world and understand that people are not messing around but truly serious in what they say and believe.

But there IS a board game that is actually called Game of Life and it takes you through different scenarios and you follow down the road of decisions you make in that “life” and where it leads to.  I can’t remember having ever played it.  I think I would have been too upset due to all the things I couldn’t do.

One thing that Kevin discovered today is that the board game was made in the 1860s and one of the very first board games made and my son can now have it on his ipad and/or switch.  So this game has survived many changes and is still relevant today.

I guess in a way it’s a small cameo of our actual lives and the decisions we can make and the consequences they can have.  Everything we do impacts either ourselves, out only on ourselves but also on others.

Quite honestly, I think it’s important we acknowledge the journey we have taken and how we have got to where we are and if we need to make any changes in our lives.  I think “just rolling” with life is not good for you or any other family members because sometimes you HAVE to take a step back, acknowledge where you have gone wrong and make the effort to do so.

TREASURE

The fact that life is NOT a game to be played but something really important.  And we have to be aware of the impact we can have on family members via the things we do.
