sometimes just a small mental break allows a person to re-attack a situation or problem with a new
vigure; allowing for more success than pushing through with out a small break.
This site offers videos for watching, there are stories, and descriptions of vacation destinations, and simple games. Content is being added daily, please visit often!
I am aware that the games do not all work on mobile devices. But now, there are some corny 80's cheesy computer games like those which run on Atari(r) and TRS-80(r)
