The cards are shuffled and sequentially dealt out to each of the players. You have no idea what you may get. You pick them up and review your hand. Whether you are playing for fun or to win, you have an immediate reaction. It may range from and include joy, confusion, disappointment, and concern.
Now the fun begins. For most of us, the joy will come from the supposed chance to win. We do not know what to expect from our opponents and the deck. You make a move. You wait, and others do too. In time you discover you may have won; in other situations, and likely more often, you lose.
We move to the next round, and we start again. It is not about the cards you get, the colors you have, and the royalty you hold, but how you play them and then what you do when the round closes.
Each day we start with a new deck. We mostly know the game we play, yet what we are dealt with will evoke emotions and potential reactions. Tomorrow is a fresh start – treat it as such.
