marcoujor: All In The Game

Scrabble is a longtime tradition in my family. Mom bought me a Junior Scrabble game when I was in second grade.

I became impatient with this version, as it didn’t allow for the creativity of actually forming words.

Scrabble, the adult version, can be humbling, very much mirroring life to me.

Sometimes, no matter how knowledgeable the player, the chosen Scrabble tiles can sway the results unfavorably.

In life, those “Q” and “Z” tiles pop up when we least expect it in the form of serious illness, trauma, death, etc.

For me, time spent with family and friends is even more important than the results of the game. In fact, a wise person ignores many issues where the rules of Scrabble are concerned. 🙂

I’ve been reminded recently on several occasions that tomorrow is not promised.

For as long as we are in this game of life together, let’s continue to share time, our views and, of course, music with each other.​
