Making a positive out of a negative

We turned an "oops" from last night into dinner tonight. Hubs added extra liquid (broth AND water)to yesterdays dinner. We kept the extra, tossed in yellow and green squash, onion, carrots, a large russet potato, celery, tomatoes, green pepper, spices and a bit more wine and PRESTO...Tuscan Veggie Soup. It's even better than it looks....and it smells like an Italian vacation.

Life is like our soup. We plan and make sure to have the things we think we need but then something comes along and we suddenly have things happen that we didn't plan on. It's what you choose to do with those times that can turn your day around. I could have bitched that a simple recipe was ruined. Instead, we poured off the liquid and continued on. So, when life hits you with something unexpected...look at it in a new perspective and see what can be made out of the surprise.
