Vending Life

 

My wife has a saying...

"Don't keep expecting a Pepsi when you go to the Coke machine." 

In human terms, don't expect to get something different from people in your life that have shown the inability to get there. 

So true.  

If you manage your expectations on the front side, you minimize the disappointment on the backside. 

If someone in your life always has a glass half empty, chances are you will go away still thirsty.  The opposite holds true as well.  It's a safe bet.  Money well spent. 

Now, with that being said...

Every once in a while, someone stocks the machine wrong and you end up getting a Pepsi. 

It can happen.  

When it does, drink it in. Savor the taste because it won't last. But, it sure does hit the spot, doesn't it?

So whether you are looking for  "a new generation" or you want to "open happiness,"  you can find both just remember what vending machine you are at.
