There is saying I once heard, something a kin to “why do you say, I will do this tomorrow…” Ring a bell? We have all had an experience where we have planned an event or activity for work or for our family; and then life got in the way. If we are not careful these interruptions can really get us frustrated. When that happens we tend to react in ways that are not consistent with who we are, and we say things that we do not mean to people we love. We have to have a plan of action, a default to revert to when life throws us a loop. For me that default is “adventure” (my wife hates it when I say this while we are driving). I use this word a lot when I make a wrong turn or we are trying to find a new place based on someone else’s directions. I use it to remind myself that we may not know where we are, but on the Brightside, at least, we are going someplace new that we may never see otherwise. Do you have a default? Do you have a reminder to make lemonade out of life’s lemons? If not, get one, you might just be a little happier with it.
