Tuesday's truth

[LarryG]

A Tufted Titmouse looking for a mean

Cold day today, I'll still do my routine stuff.  I bought Hollie a TV, hard setting up for an indoor antenna, it's done.

I'm delighted that the future is unsure. That's the way it should be.

~William Sloane Coffin

Some of life's richest moments are the most unexpected: the old friend met by chance, or the new one discovered when neither of us was really looking; the toy at the bottom of the toy box, rediscovered and loved anew; the book, the flower, the shaft of light we were in the right place at the right time to notice and embrace.

It is important to dream and plan, to work toward goals, to mark the milestones we pass on life's journey. No less important, though, is to open ourselves to the unexpected joys awaiting us every day.

Am I ready, today, to expect the unexpected?
