..unexpected..

I can honestly say that things happen for a reason.. Do I know and understand what those reasons are at the time that things happen? No. Most of the time I'm usually blindsided by the on going of events that tend to take place in my whirl wind of a life. And even though when things, whether bad or good happen unexpectedly I can't help but look back at my life and smile.Things are never what they seem to be and yet some times they are, they are exactly what you expect or intended them to be and when facing the change that hits us everyday the only thing we can control is the pace we walk it and the reaction we have to it. I have learned that it is far more easier to enjoy what is in front of you instead of wondering what it means...

You may not have the "dream job" you want, the bank account you desire, or relationship you pray for but I'm sure that in front of you, you have so much to be grateful for and so much to enjoy. We have no control over when we'll get that job, that next big score, or that 1st date but we do have control over what we do with ourselves in the midst of it all and most importantly... We have the time to kick back and enjoy the unexpected, make the best out of every situation placed in front of us and in doing so we are sure to find the pleasures of this life that we so long for. Once I have relaxed, clammed my mind, and just kicked back to enjoy life that's when I find the understanding of why the last big storm in life happen and how it applies to the rest of my life. And it's usually in those moments of unexpected clarity that those things that I desire most tend to find me. And again... I'm blindsided by the waves of life and it's never ending change of expression that causes me to view it in whole other way.

In time you are healed, in time you are moved, and in time you are inspired. These things all take TIME, they don't just happen over night, for most of us these things can take days, weeks, months, and/or even years. But, when they do without fail its usually when you least expect it. So, life is to live and enjoy, to live for the unexpected moments; you never know what you'll find but I can almost promise you to expect something amazing. Even when unexpected is painful, its usually after our hardest storms in life that we are surprised with our greatest moments. Endure what is hard to enjoy what is bliss, give when it's the hardest, and to care when it's the easiest. By living for life you will find the strength to take on all that comes your way unexpectedly and you will look back, view the path you walked and smile.
