I hate surprises. In fact, I loathe them. As a
self-professed control freak, I much prefer knowing what to expect and when to
expect it. And in kismet’s truest form, tonight, something so wonderful
happened that it surprised me down to my core. A small thing, but a big thing
all the same, that makes my soul feel lighter and lets some sunlight into the
dusty, dank corners of my mind...and of my tired, old heart.
And it was then that I
realized something.
All of that sunlight in
my heart and in my mind begins and ends with me. Even more, it begins and ends
with you too.
So maybe, just maybe, surprises aren’t so bad after all.
Perhaps surprises are fate’s almost comical way of reminding us that, “She’s
got this,” and we are really just along for the ride. It could even be that
things really do fall into place at exactly the right time, at precisely the
right moment and for the most perfect of reasons. That everything really does happen for a reason; good and bad. All we have to do is just sit
back, have faith and exercise a little grace and understanding. And maybe that’s
the secret to closing one chapter and starting a new one, as we author our own destiny and move forward, even if there is a twist or turn in the book.
Maybe.
Every great journey begins with the first step, even if you
have absolutely no idea where you are going. But isn’t that the beauty of it? Sometimes
everything in life has to get lost before it can be found, before the lights
can guide it (whatever it is) home.
Life all about moving forward. It always has been, and it
always will be. So you put aside bygones, mend fences, take chances and just
trust your heart. Because if you can’t, no one else will. And above all else,
remember this:
Good things happen to those who do good. Happiness washes
over those who bring happiness to others. So do good, make other people happy
and trust in my good old buddy, fate. She might just surprise you.
With that said: surprise me. I think I can take it now. Who knows? I might even like it. I'm willing to take that chance. The only question left is: Are you?
Tonight’s ‘Soundtrack
of Life Song’ just fit, and it made sense of my own personal brand of nonsense.
Who knows? It might even make sense of yours too.
