Friday Fun
Have you discovered Sudoku? It is my new addiction. It's a grid game in which every digit from 1 to 9 must appear:
In each of the columns,
in each of the rows,
and in each of the nine boxes.
It's a great brain teaser, but it can also be viewed as a metaphor for living life to the fullest. Really. Stay with me here. Some of the squares are filled in very logically. It is obvious which is the correct number. But other squares require a leap of faith that you will choose the right number. Sometimes you do. Other times, you keep working the puzzle until it becomes obvious that your original guess didn't pan out. But never mind. By diligently backtracking and getting back to the point where you made a different choice, you can erase and start working forward from that point with new data.
See what I mean?
