Life is Like...

The other day I was playing Solitaire at work (judge me all you want. I needed a break from thinking about school.) I was like 0 for 20, with the computer telling me I was out of moves each time. It didn't matter what I did, I could NOT win! And then it hit me. Life is like a game of Solitaire. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose. We can start the game over and try to correct our mistakes, but that rarely helps and if you're like me, you usually end up making the same mistakes.  Sometimes you just have to accept defeat and start a new game and try to learn from the mistakes you made the last time. Essentially it's not about how many games you actually win, it's about realizing when it's time to start over and learning from your mistakes. Eventually you will win!

Here's to starting a new game!
