Hi Jilly, Deanna, Rebecca, Lisa and Angela,

Thank you all for your recent comments on
Reduce Stress by Always Expecting the Unexpected.

One thing I did not expect was the number of comments that would arise in the USA whilst the UK slept! (JOY)

Unexpected is sometimes really good too! I went in to our cell phone repair place today - my hubby's phone (that he hates) is broken.

They managed to get him a new phone (one that he really wanted), whilst not messing up my contract or costing me too much money.

See... sometimes they are happy to work with us smile

Thanks for that Deanna. It�s quite true that when the �unexpected� happens, it�s usually related to things going wrong. It is indeed a great feeling when the 'unexpected� turns out to be a lovely surprise. (JOY)

I think sometimes we focus very strongly on the negative, and don't give enough kudos for all the unexpectedly positive things that happen in our lives. We should celebrate those!

Oh yes! The unexpected positive things that can happen should be celebrated!

This weekend I had several unexpected things happen to me!

I got to use another band's sound system, and it sounded totally awesome.

I got to play a duet with a girlfriend and it sounded totally awesome.

My friend got invited to open for another band - and though it wasn't me being invited, I'm so happy for her, that I'm also enjoying her unexpected good fortune smile

A friend gave me three gluten free home made muffins.

I got a BEAUTIFUL honey calcite stone.

Deanna, yes, unexpected positive things should definitely be celebrated. Do you generally have that many on a weekend or was it a one-off?? (JOY)

HA HA.... I have to wonder, Joy! Do you think that sometimes we may have bunches of unexpected good, yet we don't notice because we get distracted by the unexpected bad?

Definitely! You could even take that one step further. Perhaps everything may be perceived as 'good' if you look at the 'bad' with a different mindset, eg, learning experiences, opportunities to make one stop and think, etc. (JOY)

That is SO true, Joy - that we are surrounded by blessings all the time and often we don't even see it. Or we only see the "bad" in something that has happened.
