Someone once said to me, Expect the Unexpected.
It seemed daring at the time so I took it on board.
The only problem was because I expected the Unexpected all the time I wasn’t really surprised when it happened.
It was expected right?
Life was losing its surprise factor.
I felt heavy as a bag of cement.
My counsellor suggested — wait for it — Expect the Expected.
So I do,
When the Unexpected happens I light up.
I’m happy,

Haha, I like this. The unexpected becomes expected if we expect it, right?
Great play on words. 😀

I guess we all have to manage expectations.

Can’t be avoided, Worms but you’re right: managing them is the challenge; my friend said, do something scary every dAY — so when a big challenge hits me as it did a few days ago, I knew how to handle it —-
