What Surprising Twists Have Shaped Your Life 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]

That I never misplaced my children.

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.

The end of the sixth sense.

i graduated.

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.

 

[wukunlin]

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.
