Be surprised

If we are not living with the outlook of one day at a time we should ask ourselves why. Being surprised by life and allowing plans to be loose is probably best as things rarely go as we envision them.

As the oldest of six, I seem to have digested the message that things needed to be orderly and that there wasn't much flexibility to be had. That I was wrong is a lesson I've had to learn as I age and now incorporate into a mantra that realizes life is short and we should allow ourselves to be amazed and surprised by it. For there are things to be learned when we go off script and embrace the spontaneous.

Victim to urban sprawl and horrible civic planning. Car culture did not help....
