I like the saying expect the unexpected.
\nTo me it\u2019s great and practical advice.
\nIt\u2019s easy to get lulled into feeling
\nas if good times will always be good,
\nor as if everything will go along predictably.
\nI feel an awareness about how things can
\nchange in a millisecond for the best or the
\nworst that you never expected is a good
\nawareness to cultivate, like the saying expect
\nthe best but be prepared for the worst.
\nAnd the unexpected could be an auspicious
\noccurrence, like a new love coming into your life,
\nor having a deadly cancer that goes into remission.
\nThe unexpected is different for me now, good or bad.
\nI see it as something new and exciting in my life,
\nregardless of the good or bad it can bring into it.
\nAn old life can be that boring where any change
\nis an antidote to the less exciting elderly years
\nwhen the dreams are over and memories are
\nall you have left of them.<\/p>\n
