“You never know, when you get up in the morning, what the day will bring.” That’s one of my pet sayings, and it proves itself true over and over.
Sure, for the most part our days unfold more or less the way we expected. So much so that sometimes we find ourselves longing for a break in the routine. “The daily grind,” we call it, as if its sameness wears us down.
I think that’s why life gives us a jolt now and then. “Surprise!” it says.
It keeps us from getting rusty.
