There comes a time when all you can do is accept the inevitable and just go with the flow. I'm kind of a laid back dog (most of the time) and just try to roll with the punches. Just when I think Chip and I are friends, Wham! I get a swat for no reason at all. You expect people to act or treat you a certain way, then all of a sudden you are dissed on a whim. I've learned if you keep your expectations low, then you are not as disappointed when things don't go the way you imagined them to go. For instance, take Linda's Subaru. Those readers who have been keeping up with the ongoing Forrester issues know the ups and downs of the blown-up turbo charger. We just got the car back last week. This morning, white smoke came pouring out of the front car hood and the "check engine" light came back on. Linda did not even get upset this time. That's the thing with trials. When you get through something that initially seems like you won't be able to handle it, it makes you stronger and more resilient for the next challenge. Oh well, back to the Subaru dealer in the morning.
