I feel good. I won all my games at Scrabble club again tonight. I've won 19 of the last 21 games at Scrabble club! I'm feeling more confident about myself as a player. For about 15 years there my game languished because i spent a year studying some stuff that led to bad strategy and a losing game. I'd get the big plays but lose the game. Now that i've loosened my grip on the big plays, my game has improved and my win-rate has gone up 70%! I'm playing by my wits now. It's less work and more fun. One of my opponents tonight said she likes playing me, that she always learns things. One time she said i'm "shrewd"! What a lovely compliment! I'll treasure it always. My looks got lost but my brains remain!

Hugs to all who struggle!
