Unexpected

I'm not a huge fan of surprises that startle, but I don't mind coming upon the unexpected. I guess I see them as a little different.

For some reason I've crossed paths with things unexpected a few times this past week:
Scenes where I didn't plan to find something interesting. Unanticipated joy. Found beauty beyond the busy and the mess.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's spring. It could be the rain/snow/hail/sunbreaks we've been having. Or the realization that my oldest will both graduate from college within the next couple of weeks.

For some reason I am bit more tuned in.  A little more appreciative and thankful.
