I’m usually right about most things. As a writer, I play out all possible life scenarios in my head, so it’s very hard to take me by surprise.
If you happen to take me by surprise, it’s not that you’ve surprised me, but more that one scenario actually did play out.
I try not to be caught off guard, but it does happen on occasion! Last year, while out in the back region of our woods tapping trees for maple syrup season, our neighbors suddenly appeared on horseback.
Surprised, but not surprised. I had often thought to myself, “what if I was out in the woods and suddenly the neighbors appeared on their horses?”. It literally happened! They live down the street, and it had been a trek to get down there.
So while many things in life can surprise me, they really don’t 😉
PS- My previous post was also correct about the expected e-mail, ha!
