Sunny day today.My son is now on a picnic in the woods with his friends at school.

I think I 've got into my periods again.I will not be so discouraged.

I really envy those people who have still their grandfathers and
grandmothers and especially grandfathers.My grandfathers both had been
already in heaven when I was born into this world.
So I imagine grandfathers like gods.I wonder what grandfathers are like.I once said to one old man that he had become my last man who talked about love to me.He might be thought of as a strange old man by
his own family.He made a lot of small mistakes.But I could feel something very important to me.

Keeping kids fit
by Tracey Williams

Children are naturally active creatures - make sure you help them stay that way. Tracey Williams explores some simple ways to be a physically active family
A recent report reveals a shocking lack of sports facilities in our schools. Out of 2,126 schools, only six per cent had a gym, eight per cent a swimming pool and three per cent a tennis court. Add to this the increased time spent watching TV, playing computer games or surfing the Internet, and you have a generation of little couch potatoes in the making.

Children today are less active than they were a few years ago, not just because of a decrease in physical education and the advent of fascinating sedentary activities (computer games and the Internet have a lot to answer for), but also because even walking or cycling to school and playing outside are considered risky by safety-conscious parents. However, physically active children have fewer chronic health problems than their sedentary counterparts; they are less likely to become obese; they can cope better with everyday physical tasks, and they have a stronger self-image and more self-confidence.

Fit kids mean fit adults
It's important to help children think positively about exercise, motivate them to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine, and ultimately make exercise a lifetime pursuit. Healthy, active children are more likely to develop into healthy active adults, who will have a decreased risk of cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. Weight-bearing activities such as running and gymnastics are also beneficial to children's bone health. Impact sports like these help to increase bone density, which will help to maintain bone health in later life.

There are many ways of motivating children to be physically active and make those activities fun. If your child participates in and enjoys sports then you're halfway there, but not all children are enthusiastic about organised or conventional sporting activities. Take your child to the park and kick a ball around, throw a Frisbee, fly a kite, or have a race. You could even take a trip down memory lane and have a game of hopscotch or jump rope. If that's not your thing, why not take the whole family on a day hike, or even just have a game of hide-and-seek in the garden?

If the weather makes outdoor activities tricky, you could have a mini disco in the living room, grab a hula hoop, play balloon volleyball, or have a game of Twister.

KING ARTHUR AND THE HOLY GRAIL

The Impossible Dream (The Quest)

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far
To be willing to give when there's no more to give
To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live

And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
