That is a good article, but how does one specifically expect the unexpected?

You are so right. We should always look at the unexpected as a blessing, forever finding the good in every situation.

Hey Joy, I really enjoyed this article! And it's so true! My husband and I were just arguing, uh, hummm... I mean discussing, how a recent extra expense didn't need to throw us into a depression while waiting for pay day to arrive. I'm doing okay with it, but he just can't seem to get over it :::sigh::: And honestly being upset doesn't change a single thing - while I, on the other hand, have been having a pretty splendid day

And one can never prevent �the unexpected�! (JOY)

Hi Joy I kept meaning to tell you this was a great article. I used to get all bent out of shape about all kinds of things a few years back then I just realized that it wasn't worth it to spend my energy on that. Now when things don't go my way, I just try to see if there is a lesson that the universe is trying to teach me or maybe things out of my control are a sign that I need to slow down and be grateful for what I have. If all else fails I pull an E.T. (Eckhart Tolle) and I wallow in it 110% and allow myself to have a complete meltdown which lasts for all of 5 minutes then I start laughing at how ridiculous that is. Haven't done that in a while but it helped me a lot back when I was struggling with the unexpected. E.T. on End of Suffering and on being Quite Ordinary
