The Word Vicissitudes

Came across an interesting word today: The vicissitudes of living

It means the changes / variations of life.

But before I go ranting about life, it's not as if I'm some old granny with lots of wise knowledge about life. So I shall spare the talk.

Let me play one of my favourite games I used to play with words: Making words out of a long one. Man.. am a bit rusty on this.. here goes..
