life isn't always an amusement park

WELCOME TO
this ride called...
L     I     F     E
it has its
S

and

S

unexpected
c
   u
      r
      v
   e                                                              
s            
that throw you for a  LOOP

 
and there you sit--strapped in
you're in it for the long haul
there is no way out
no control of this ride called LIFE

NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

throw your hands up into the air, enjoying the ride --OR--
are you screaming, "stop the ride, i wanna get OFFFFFFFFFFFFF"

it's how you deal with the

S                                                            D
P                           and                           O
U 
                                                           W

                                                               S
                                                             
                                                                
that determines your outcome
when the ride comes to a
S    L    O    W  
and final
STOP.
