76. Win some…Lose Some

Over the weekend, my brother was so stoked about reliving the high school days that he went out shopping for board games. His mind was bent on one — Scrabble. A few stores later and after numerous price comparisons (to save that extra note) he bought one and, excitedly, called to announce his feat. So in the evening, we congregated around a board and tiles to with friends to a fun, tension-filled game of playing with words.
There were some obvious losses, wins, educated guesses and the occasional bluff; that reminded me of similarities the game has with living a full life. Truth is there are time when we win or lose despite having the best strategies, education or ideas. So go out there, give your best, take risks, travel, eat, make friends, share and reach out for your dreams; and do not forget to have earth-shaking fun and laughter while at it. Life’s a big joke — a game I dare say — to take too seriously.
