Games Gift

As I was thinking about what would be a good title for this blog, I got sidetracked, because if I don't do it to myself, others will do that to me.  Actually, if we can consider that love is the most important thing in the world for a moment, the mere thought of it took me away from this page.

I come with proof that getting sidetracked is part of the process.

During my temporary switch to another track in my head, I was thinking about games, and if we play them in the name of love.  I do.

After that little confession to myself, let's just say it is little, I came back to this page, directed the cursor to the title box and I was given three choices for title.  This is new, I had not seen this before, I have choices which gives that I don't have to think and sweat over a title right now.

"Games Gift" was the first choice and the best one because it echoed my exact thoughts at that moment about the subject of people playing games.  Where did this choice come from?  Is there a database somewhere parallel and a copy of my thoughts?  If there is, Google has it apparently. 

Games People Play, Eric Berne's book I had read in the summer of 1975 comes to mind.  It is so appropriate to the present.  I had forgotten the wisdom I had found in it, although it was written by a psychologist.  Parent, Adult, Child, the three roles people play in life intermittently was the main subject of the book.  I liked it so much.  Around the same time, from the same author, I had read I'm OK You're OK.  Both books rang true to my ears at the time. 

All three roles have their positive and negative aspects.  I caught myself in one before I even knew what I was going to write about.  So this is a confession that games are part of the gift and a gift by themselves.

Games Gift.
