I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 114: Face Off
Today is a really nice day out, so Carey and I decided to play cards outside on the deck. We played a game called Face Off, which I had never played before. It's basically based on poker, but you have 5 hands, and each hand is played against the other person's hand. Keep in mind that I hate to lose.
Result: We played 3 games. I lost every single game. He apparently pretty much always wins against other people. Did that make me feel any better? No! But he and I kept reminding myself that the purpose of this whole thing was for me to lose in the first place.
It's Day 114, and I still hate losing! But hey, at least I tried something I had never done before. And I'm glad that I did it, even if I did lose every time :-)
