Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans. Yep. How often are we reminded of that wise saying?! And I guess one of the best (and most cliché) responses to that is, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Now, I don’t think you can always turn things around so far as to make lemonade. However, you can certainly just accept the lemons for being lemons (and not the end of the world). Maybe squeeze them into a glass of water? Or zest them around the room for some clean fresh fragrance? Or use them to keep your avocado from turning brown?
I say this because my car is in the shop with a screw in the shoulder of one tire. Yes, two days before our big road trip and not only do I need to get a new tire but I’m also without my car for over a day, ruining my practice packing plans. What to do?
Well, I’m grateful the tire place could get me in today. And I’m grateful they can get me new tires in time for our planned departure. And I got some bonus extra time with a friend who helped me drop off my car. Plus, I got to eat fresh hot Chick-fil-A tonight instead of 20-minute old Chick-fil-A.
These are all good things. So much for my plans! Things are turning out differently and just fine anyway.
