Life Has a Cruel Sense of Humor

But, oh, to be laughing

Life deals us daily disappointments. Some small, some large. That’s non-negotiable. The question, I suppose, is how we respond.

Trying to control everything in order to avoid roadblocks is a very popular response. But it can really sting when our meticulously executed plans only make things worse.

Still, however bad things are, I find it helpful to remember that they can easily get worse.
