'Till Death Do Us Part

   Everyone knows that in life sometimes things don’t happen the way you plan. Other times things don’t happen at all, and even more often, all the things you don't want to happen, happen. But that’s just life. And because we all know it, we all have a choice to make. Granted, most choose to complain about it every chance they get, and for years I was one of those people. I’d take every opportunity to whine about the amount of money I paid for college tuition, while drinking a seven dollar cup of coffee at the campus Starbucks. I’d gripe about the weather, my job, my family, friends, my wants and unrealized dreams, everything. I was buried deep in a world full of troubles. As my life flew by, I hardly even noticed because I was too busy focusing on everything that wasn’t right, instead of taking every moment for what it was worth.

  
  When I was twenty-six years old, all of that changed. Because life happened, in the best way and the worst way all at once. You see, along with giving you everything you don't want at all the wrong times, and in the worst ways possible, life also has a way of giving you everything you didn’t know you always needed, in the best way, at just the right moment. I guess that’s why so many people learn to take the bad with the good and smile even when no one’s looking.
