⨠When Plans Go Wrong⌠But Actually Go Right â¨
Last weekend, we brought our 6-year-old daughter to a birthday party, arriving right on time at 10:00 a.m. The only problem? No one else was there.
After confirming with the front desk, we waited⌠and at 10:30, families started arrivingâbut we didnât recognize a single one. Things got even more chaotic when we realized the venue had double-booked the space for a birthday party and an educational class.
Then it hit us. We had the wrong date. Our daughterâs friendâs party was actually NEXT weekend.
Cue the tears. She was heartbroken, crying so hard she could barely catch her breath. And honestly? We felt awful.
We knew we had to turn this around. So after calming her down, we made a last-minute decision: Letâs go to the Dr. Seuss Museum!
And hereâs where the magic happened⌠It just so happened to be Dr. Seussâs birthday celebration that very day.... complete with cotton candy cake, special activities, and a meet & greet with The Cat in the Hat!
By the end of the day, our daughterâwho had been devastated just hours beforeâwas laughing, smiling, and saying how happy she was that things worked out the way they did.
Sometimes, life throws curveballs. âžď¸ Plans go sideways. Things donât work out how we expect. But more often than not, when one door closes, another (sometimes even BETTER) one opens.
