We were blessed with yet another day of beautiful spring weather which means why stay inside when there are so many great things to do outdoors?
I got to go on a walk with a couple of friends today and we got on the subject of expectations. How you don't realize how strongly you have them until they are not met. I think unmet expectations are just another reminder to me that I am not in control on this journey in which I am having to constantly surrender.
The truth is I no longer know what to expect, which in many ways brings tremendous joy and blessings beyond what I could've thought; but along with that, I suffer in ways so raw that I am surprised I survive. There are so many twists and turns in life that I am often left feeling utterly confused--laughing one minute and crying the next.
I am working on allowing for the spontanaity (sp?) to embrace surprises along the way--be they green lights or road blocks. After all, I have discovered many great things on detours :)
