There is so much to be dismayed about when considering the world at large right now, reading the daily news is enough to drag one deep into a swamp of despair. And while complete escapism may not be the best approach into avoiding said swamp of despair, it feels important to find some ways to maintain some sanity.
With this in mind, it's a great time to lose oneself in a great book, volunteer for a cause you hold dear, pick up litter, spend time in nature, or like the 320 people who will be competing in the hide and seek world championship in September ... lose yourself in the pure (albeit competitive) joy of play!
