unexpected

The unexpected takes me a minute to catch my breath. Or should I say left field surprises make my heart race and random days off are pleasantly refreshing.

Not knowing what the day would hold, I went about my daily routines: running, sweating A LOT, drinking 8 glasses of water, etc. This morning David surprised me with a special treat- fruit smoothies. This drink is the best post-workout snack ever. Mmm…tasty.

Then I started reading. Not that it’s completely unexpected, but I enjoyed a nice power nap. That one didn’t really make my heart rate go up.

We headed off into town, where the car conversation took me into thinking about creative projects that I want to undertake: writing a book, playing the guitar, painting, and choreographing a dance. Totally unexpected…and fascinating.

I sat down in my usual chair at Borders to enjoy the pile of books I grabbed from the shelves only to be interrupted by a very strange phone call. The offer on the other end (PS- not marriage) was very exciting and shot my heart rate through the roof. Despite the phone call being completely out of nowhere, I enjoyed the fun roller coaster ride. I eventually calmed down and thought practically about the proposition. I had to decline, but all the same, the day had been jumbled again just a little bit.

The unexpected makes me laugh as much as run around with my head cut off, but I like days like these. I appreciate the problem solving, decision making, the creative thinking, and the squealing and relaxing. Perhaps like abundance, it’s about perspective. I can’t say. I’ll leave the unexpected to surprise me again however it can.
