I recently ducked a "curve ball" that came out of nowhere in my personal life. Let's just say my plans got jumbled up a bit. My ideal scenario didn't play out the way I had anticipated it might. I experienced some upsets. But, everything worked out the way it was suppose to. Expectations don't always pan out. Stuff happens.

Anyway, this experience gave me the a nudge I needed to write about how our defunct expectations can get in the way of our happiness if we let it. We don't have to allow these situations to dampen our spirits. There is joy and good that can come from almost anywhere, even out of left field. What's with all the baseball analogies? Gosh, I don't even know. I can't even remember the last time I watched a game.

Have you had your expectations dashed by a curve ball aimed at you? When Life Throws You A Curve Ball the game can change drastically. Are you able to accept the "unexpected" and "go with the flow?" Don't let your defunct expectations interfere with the joy a natural flow offers.

Affirmation of the Day
