And so I …

Life often presents us with the unexpected,
the unplanned,
and the sub-optimal.

The question is: What do we do next?

Do we press on?
Do we pivot?

“… and so I …”

X happened, and so I —
Y happened, and so I —

What matters isn’t always what happened.

It’s what follows:
“… and so I …”
