Flow With It

Photo by Laurel Stream
A not so funny thing happened to me just this week. As i took a bite of a chocolate covered ice cream bar i felt something break. To my chagrin my dentures broke. I am left with a toothless grin akin to old ladies who have not bothered to replace them. Good thing i do not have any schedules or appointments with the rest of humanity set for this week. Except for the necessary trip to the dentist -- i am under house arrest. No teeth, no face, i believe.

The need to flow is a must. We truly never know what exactly will come our way on the day-to-day. Much as we ensure preparedness for anything --- there are just some things that just pop up and test our emotional, and even adversity quotient. Some may be as shallow as losing one's front chompers --- little irritants, annoyances --- or God forbid, something that is devastating.

One's ability to go with the flow is a plus. Nothing happens by chance. Nothing is quite random as it seems.
