It’s fun Friday! Welcome to the A-Z blog hop. This week’s letter is Q.
In Words With Friends the letter Q is coveted because it’s worth ten points, but it’s also dreaded because it’s very hard to use. Unless you know the words “qi” and “qat”, you have to have a “u” to use it. But oh happy day if you can slap that baby on a triple letter that’s part of a triple word. (I once had my highest scoring word like that – 160 points for just ONE word). For those of you that are Words With Friends players, the word “qua” comes in handy, too.
Q reminds me that most things in life that matter or are valuable carry a high cost – like loving your children. The more you love them, the taller is the cost when they leave or something damages the relationship. Q reminds me of struggle. I like struggle. If you work at it and finally get it right, the reward is great and the learning and growth that bleeds from struggle are invaluable.
And so, as another day goes by, back to the boards, I hope I get a “Q” in my next game, and…I have written.
Great analogy! I don’t play, so not informed about all those Q words.
I love playing Words with Friends! Scrabble is my favorite. And there are a lot of Q words but none that I usually have letters for. 🙂
I feel the same way, Linda. It’s been awesome getting to know everybody through the different letters. Great job with “p”. 🙂
