TOW: Make-do-ability

I know, I know, I owe you like, a week's worth of thinking and videoing. It's not happening. I used to be very anal about following my own rules with updating, but as I'm sure we all find--life gets in the way. And when life gets in the way, we make do. And this, my friends, is called the principle of make-do-ability.

Lately, I have been making ends meet and making things work by as random means as I can manage. And frankly, my life gets more random by the day. The good thing about all of this, of course, is that I can make do with all of my circumstances, all of my craziness, as long as someone bloody pays me, talks to me, listens to me, and we can all get on with life in the way we please...most of the time.

There are times in life, and moments in your day, when you realize that something is not going to worked the way you planned. However, alongside that thought, you also realize that to complete the task at hand, you might just have to make do with what you have. And whether that make-do is lemons making lemonade or being stuck with an elephant in a small room somewhere, sometimes you do just have to make do with what you have.



And the key to all of this making do--is realizing what you do have, and using it. And that's a pretty special skill, according to the wise.
