Unexpected

Sometimes life really is not what you expect it to be. Happenstance throws you a curve ball and turns your life upside down, sometimes for the worse but sometimes for the better as well. It is so hard to not spin out of control or over correct mistakes, in a car and out.  I am super grateful for the constants in my life, my husband, my loving family, and close friends. Something I am not good at but my husband reminds me often is to celebrate the good. Reflect on good things and not dwell on the bad, having little celebrations all day through instead of grumbling through how hard it was makes life not only more bearable but completely enjoyable. I had an amazing dinner with a close friend, it would have been so easy to be distracted by her beautiful daughter in her terrible twos throwing pasta shells all over the floor and screaming at the top of her lungs (tough for a non-mother to cope with sometimes). I was easily able to overlook the annoyed glances from other tables at the restaurant and have a lovely night with someone who needed the girl time as much as I did. It is very interesting how we can find peace in chaos if we seek to find it.

CELEBRATE THE LITTLE THINGS!
