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 156: Games with Mikey
I love to hang out with my good friend Melissa and her son Mikey. One of the things that Mikey loves to do is play games--checkers, Sorry, Monopoly, etc. However, most of the time that we play board games or whatever type of games together, he wins. And it is so frustrating!!! But today, I decided to go ahead and play several games with him.
Result: I won several times!!! He won as well. I mean, I know I'm acting stupid here. I'm getting upset about losing to a 7 year old. But hey, my subconscious doesn't know that it's a 7 year old and not a 37 year old, right...? Maybe some day I won't take it so personally when I lose a stupid game. :-)
