What Can Surprise Can Also Reveal Some Of Life's Secrets

What can surprise us in life?

Not get the better of us necessarily, but cause us to wonder at what is happening.

Sure, we can be shocked at an unexpected turn of events. We cannot always predict what might happen or the repercussions.

Revelations in life do occur and will make you stop and think.

A jolt or bombshell will cause alarm and may catch you unawares. But equally those sort of moments definitely show that you are alive and kicking.

Somethings are real eye-openers. We never thought of that. That happened in a totally unexpected way. But these can be a force for good, and need not be unwelcome news or unwanted episodes in our lives.

At times we are amazed by something. Touched even. The sense of wonder is so real that we would like to capture the moment.

These moments occur from time to time and should be met with admiration and acceptance, thanks and appreciation.

Life is trying to show us very wonderful or profound. And at times, just us.

What an honor, what a privilege.

Other events can

• astonish us - we never saw that coming nor could prepare for that
• stagger us to the core - give us a little shake before resuming life's steady ways once more
• make us disbelieve what we see or feel or hear - is that really true, I find that hard to comprehend

Others can

• just be disconcerting and worrying
• take us aback at what happens
• bowl us over
• catch us off guard
• catch us red handed

What can surprise?

Many an adventure betwixt morning and night.

We cannot predict them all nor should we try.

We cannot know all that happens nor should we feel we should.

We may well be surprised by the turn of events, or what happens to us or others.

But we need accept this part of life. Learn to take things in our stride.

And move on - not as if nothing has happened, because it has.

No move on with greater understanding and alertness. With greater appreciation and wonder at the life we have in our hands.

And enjoy another day of our journey in life.
