There are times when we all feel as though the universe is working against us. Whether it’s our own fault or because things take an unexpectedly sharp downturn, sometimes life offers us adversity to test our patience and strength. At the time, they might seem like complete catastrophes, but when we look back, we can always find a humorous spin, a valuable lesson, or an interesting story that will make our conversations with friends more intriguing.
