You’ve experienced those times when your day was all planned out and a very important (to you) project was in the works, but from the moment you got up life seemed to thwart you.  I got up yesterday morning with a head full of beading plans, very special project I was anxious to get into.  I immediately realized my kitchen sink drain pipe had come loose from the sink, flooding the cabinet underneath it.  Well this happens sometimes, so I replaced the pipe and gave it a little bump with the heel of my hand to push it up tight.  The whole basket assembly in the sink went flying in all directions.

Needless to say my beading project got put on hold until later in the day.  First I had to get on line to see if I could figure out what this “object” was called.  I was pretty sure I could replace it myself if I could find one.  The first listing to my on line query was an article from “This Old House” detailing how to replace the basket assembly in a kitchen sink.  Oh, that’s what that’s called, so I was off to the hardware store to get the needed supplies.  Long story cut short, I did manage to replace both basket assemblies in my kitchen sink and by 3:30 in the afternoon began that beading project.

While the unexpected interruption was an irritation, and the process of doing something unfamiliar was, at times, frustrating, the sense of accomplishment was pretty exhilarating.  I’m an independent old bird and I like being able to do things for myself!

So when live takes a left turn, enjoy the scenery.  Life’s too short to be trapped in the rut of daily living!  Being able to adapt to little changes on a constant basis enables you to be prepared for the big changes that are inevitable.
