The class was ready. Sandwiches packed, blankets rolled. 

Miss Tara said, “We’re going on a picnic!” The class cheered.

  But then the sky darkened, and thunder went boom! Rain slapped the windows and puddled on the ground. “Aww… Noo…” groaned the kids.  

Miss Tara smiled. “Let’s try something new.”  She spread the blanket on the classroom floor.  They sat in a circle, passed out the food, and told stories.  Nora leaned back and giggled. “This is better than outside!”  

Adaptability isn’t about pretending you’re not disappointed.  It’s about making space for something new   and finding joy right where you are.
