Life Lessons from Scrabble

Scrabble has always been one of my favorite board games.  And it was great to play Words with Friends on our long road trip to and from Arkansas.  Beyond the fun, playing Scrabble offers five important life lessons:

• Make the best of what you have been given
• Build on the foundations of others
• Plan ahead
• Be a good sport
• Think creatively

I've loved the game of Scrabble from the time I was able to spell.  Though I've played countless games since I last played with my precious paternal grandmother, I think of her every time I play.  Her signature word, jo (sweetheart) has given me many amazing plays.  I'm so pleased that the Scrabble fascination continues with my children's iPhone apps.  What a neat multi-generational way to keep us thinking!
