I will admit now to you, my faceless audience, my “fondness” for the game Bejeweled Blitz. I cannot start writing until I have payed a few games. (The reason for this, I have decided, is because it is a way of organizing and uncluttering things. Who can writing an organized thought when her mind is all cluttered? And even though they are only vitual messes, once they are disposed of, I feel my mind is straightened out enough to unwind my story. But that is a different tale!)
Bejeweled is a timed game. But even more than that, there is now way to “undo” moves that have been done, like one can do in many other games. This frustrates me, but has worked a life lesson into me at the same time. If I sit and ruminate on the move I could have made (that would have been perfect and earned me so many points!), time will tick by regardless. Time spent thinking about that move counts against me will not earn points. I must move on to new moves. Life is a timed game. There is not enough time to think about what could have been. Spend your time thinking about how to make the rest of your time count for the best score possible. Wait! Is there a score in life? Oh, that is a blog for another

Don't know if God keeps score.Never thought of THAT before.I hope not,as I'm very unsure how I'd do.I'm the type who always thinks others do things so much better.I keep trying,tho,hoping that doing my best will count for something.Once again you've given me something to chew on.Thanx.Btw,I imagine the timed game also weakens your ocd.
