How is it that some people can have something truly great right in front of them, and not be able to see it?
What trick of the mind prevents them from embracing the good thing? Something shows up, not looking like anything that was imagined or planned for; yet there it is with a life of its own. And with success attached to it. With recognition, favorable response, and forward momentum. But hey, it wasn't part of the original plan.

I am always trying to see things with eyes wide open, and I can reflect back on the fact that some of the very best stuff of my life 'showed up' unplanned for. I try to remain flexible, adaptable, and open. Surrender is a favorite word of mine. In the best possible meaning of the word.
