There is always...

a plan "B" or "C", or...  Life can be challenging at times.  We often revert to the same reaction or way of dealing with it.  Why not use creativity more in our lives?!  There are times when money falls a little short, or situations loom large and the only way to deal with them is to take a breath and really look at them in a different way.  It takes stepping away from yourself.  It could be like looking at a picture upside down.  Great artists and thinkers have been doing this for thousands of years.  Maybe we need to take a page from their books.  Meanwhile, stay warm, for those of us in the winter months, relish warm weather if that is what you have.  Make a ripple, "use a different eye", see what happens.
