My Candyland World

I used to be so excited, so filled with wonder at what I would see next!

Nowadays, I'm not nearly as excited, in fact, I don't want to move from this spot in my Candyland world.

I just want to rest for awhile and enjoy this space. I've been here so many times, it's almost familiar. I never stay long as I always turn over the next card, and take that chance, to see what colors I have ahead of me. Or, as luck often has it, I am sent directly back to someplace as dark and dreaded as the Molasses Swamp.

I'm not ready to take a chance, or a turn. I just want to enjoy this lovely, colorful place for just a while longer.

It's not always the moving backward that I dread, it's pulling that card and taking that chance, that may end my game. It used to be so simple, get to the finish line! But now, that has a different meaning for me. And, it's not one I find victorious at all.

How do I skip my turn??
