Life's unexpected journey

Loren Booda

What is the greatest surprise which life has dealt you?

Astronuc

The times I didn't die (or survived with minimal injury) and the time when my youngest brother died from leukemia.

lisab

That being a mom is so much fun.

Evo

That I never misplaced my children.

Moonbear

I'm not sure. Lots of things have turned out differently than I expected, though usually have turned out well. I just don't know which is most surprising.

nonequilibrium

The end of the sixth sense.

Was it love or was it mania? Probably both. I wish it on desirers and doubters. And yes, lightning can strike twice, even if not in the same place.

haven't seen much out of ordinary in my (21-year) journey yet

Is it "unexpected" that I'm not dead already (despite engaging in risky activities)? It's hard to say, since I'm still here to respond...

White-water kayaking, technical rock climbing with no previous training, extreme skiing in Maine with too many sessions on on "boilerplate" made of man-made snow, too many sessions of "pushing the envelope" with motorcycles... I could have died dozens of times, but held on. I'll probably get hit by a pulp-truck tomorrow. I hope Duke is OK.

nonequilibrium

rock on :)

khemist

life itself

chiro

Couldn't have said it better myself :)

Deveno

the suicide of my wife.
