Bending

A friend emailed me today and shared this thought with me. 

"Life just may not turn out the way we plan, but we need to just deal with it.  We don't have to like it, but endure and enjoy the parts we can."  

Then she shared one of her favorite quotes: 

"We often grow more by bending with the wind than standing in rigid defiance." 

Bending, I can bend.  It is a lot less painful when I do.
