The board is set and the pieces are in motion....

For some of us the game has been in motion for longer than we can remember all the moves that have been played, and for others like myself the board is really only just been set. It is a fortunate gift to have the time and encouragement to observe the game and be given the reigns to try a few moves, but the time will come to take action and play the game for one's self. I can foresee the potential snares that are headed my way. My options are to duck and let them pass by only to come back and haunt my next move or to face the foe head on and overcome the challenge with skill...
