"Blessed are the flexible...for they shall not be bent out of shape."
Suzy Toronto

Life throws us challenges and creates detours. Plan A is always my first choice. You know, the one where everything works out to be the way you envisioned. But more often than not, I find myself dealing with the upside down, inside out version. My path doesn't always lead me where I expected. Sometimes it is because of choices I've made and sometimes it is because of circumstances out of my control or totally unexpected.

It's at these moments that the real test of my character comes into play. Do I sink or do I swim? Do I wallow in self-pity and play the victim or shift gears? Or do I shift gears?

I have learned that in life the only thing in my life that I can control is my attitude. It is up to me how I adapt. I am happiest when I choose to be flexible and make the best of the situation. Life is all about how you hand Plan B.

I have learned that Plan B can lead you on a journed that is a fantastic life.
