Last year was really difficult and I had to
find ways to keep myself calm and focused.
I ended up finding an online version of Solitaire
that became my "go to" tool when I needed a
break from all the thinking and anxiety. I began
to challenge myself with a goal to score under 100.
And I finally did it! Just like getting through a
really crappy year, this felt like a lovely little
achievement for someone who is goal oriented.
And it was and continues to be a great way to
distract myself at times as well as give me a bit
of break when things get tough. Along the way,
a sweet memory or two has popped up of being
at my grandparents house and learning to play
Solitaire with real cards, by hand. I love this
version much better! Fun fact: did you know that
the game of Solitaire has been around for many
centuries and that it used to be called Patience?
