Life, A Cornucopia of Cracker Jack Surprises

So todays, love fortune is "I love how much you surprise me.".  Well I guess I can surprise people in the best and worst of ways but always shoot for the best but understand that life is a process.  I started today with a dichotomy.  I knew I was going to have a challenging conversation with my boss and I was having a celebratory dinner with a friend.  Well the friend had to cancel because of a death of her brother Jeff.  Guess the name of my boss.  Yes, it begins with J and ends in F.  That conversation was better than expected and in the end I wound up seeing my friend and instead I got to celebrate her in all her pain and got to know her on a deeper level than it may have taken on a superficial ongoing level.  I'm grateful that she let me be there for her, because, I know I'm not so generous on receiving the gifts that friends want to give.  Today was a blessed day in the pain and the glory.  As it should be.
