"You Can't Stop The Waves But You Can Learn To Surf"

We all have one of "those" days every so often and it helps to have something around you to remind ourselves what to do. This motivational plaque reminds us that you can't always control what is coming your way but you can learn to work with it!

Possible Layout

Another Possible Layout

Grab your beachball, sunglasses and cold drink (the one with the little umbrella in it) and get down to the beach because the sun is shining and it's going to be a good day!  Unless of course you don't live or have a cottage near the beach and have to settle for the pool in the backyard... still not a bad option just don't forget the drink.
