"When something goes wrong in your life, just yell "PLOT TWIST!" and move on." ~FB/Joy of Dad

What an awesome way to look at life and its inevitable ups and downs, don't you think?

I saw this pin on Pinterest and it really resonated within. It made me smile and made me think, isn't that the way of the world? Things will be going along relatively well, and bam!, suddenly the tire goes flat, or your daughter gets strep right before the big family vacation, or you forgot that you wrote that check to the vet and your account is overdrawn--and you don't get paid for over a week.

Oh well, that's just a plot twist. One more thing to test your resolve and to add interesting tidbits to your life. Stories to tell. Experiences to overcome. Life to be lived.

As much as we like to think that we would want a "perfect" life--one where there was never teenagers with attitude; bosses in bad moods; customers who just can't be pleased; and where everything ran along smoothly every second of every single day--wouldn't that make for a very boring existence?!

Isn't it the very "bumps" along the road that end up leading us to some of the most amazing moments and adventures of our lives? The stuff that makes for laughter and growth further along in our journey?

Well, that's the thought for today fellow Phoenixes. Hope it's a blessed Easter for everyone!
