I've come to expect the unexpected in life; I'd go as far as saying I want the unexpected to occur. Life will do so anyway, we can't control it so completely, but I like knowing that the unexpected may occur. I find it keeps me active and engaged and I see it as life unfolding to reveal itself a little more each time. When the unexpected occurs, I react, and that takes me to new places in thought and deed...and that can lead to enhanced experiences and beautiful moments - and that's life itself.

I've never thought of my life as having a big plan and can't imagine devising a strategy so far in advance. I have plans in place, naturally, but a big plan? No, not so much.
I see my life more of an adventure that unfolds before me, some I can shape and control and some I cannot, those unexpected things.
I know how to plan, to work towards goals and an ultimate solution or situation, but much of my life is fluid and open to change and I believe it's flexibility that keeps it interesting and me on the paths towards what it is I truly want from life. That's happiness, health, a deep physical and emotional relationship with my partner, the ability to slow enough to notice beauty around me, and within myself, to enjoy the planet and be kind to her; there's other things as well, sure, but that's the basics.
I love the surprises that come along with the unfolding of my adventure and embrace them and the change they often bring. Life is...it's colours, so many colours and they all seem to work together when they need to. All I need to do is be open to those colors, let them in and know how to paint them on my canvas.
