For those of you who know me, here is something you might not know. I LOVE flying. Yep, I love flying. I like taking off, landing, and I even like the crappy food. In fact, I sleep like a baby when I fly. I find the whole experience calming and relaxing.

But there’s one aspect of flying that took a little getting used to. And that was…

…turbulence. But a funny thing happened on one flight I took with my then 1 year old daguher. When we hit a patch of turbulence, my daughter started squealing and bouncing up and down. It seemed that turbulence had made the flight fun for her.

Well, since then turbulence and I have gotten along better. In fact, I just took a flight last week and we hit a rough patch of turbulence. Of course, we did this right as I was on my way to the bathroom.

So, I thought to myself. “Now what?”

The way I saw it, I had 2 choices: go back to my seat and wait it out, or enjoy the ride.

So, it is in life. Recently, I have been going through a particularly turbulent time. And there are turbulent times up ahead for me. But I have a choice. I can either sit back and whine about how hard things are for me, or I can enjoy the ride.

I’m choosing to enjoy the ride. In fact, it might just be fun. I have found that the times your life experiences turbulence are the times that can define you. They are the times that can shape who you are and who you will become.

Turbulence comes whether you want it to or not. It’s how you deal with it that makes the difference.
