Great posts!

Laureen, thank you for your analogy comparing the contest to getting good grades in school. I could get A's all day in school and I did, because I played the game. I feel like I have very little to show for it now. It really is thought-provoking to ask myself, "Is that how I'm playing the game? What am I learning, here?"

Thank you for getting that going in my head.

I am grateful for Monday's and a new week. Last week was a hard week, but I'm ready to begin again.

Thanks for all your comments!
