Once upon a time I told a guy, as I was in the midst of kissing him, that we was an amazing kisser, the best. Everyone has their own way of kissing, some are better than others, and sometimes you’ll be caught by surprise.

He chuckled. He said, “You’re a good kisser too.” He chuckled again holding something back. Then after a bit of prying, because, as a female, that is my job, he admitted, “I just mirror you.”

It kinda surprised me a little and I don’t know why. I guess I wasn’t really expecting that response. I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that. He surprised me a lot, actually, in other ways too. I told him he was a lot like the unexpected. He said no one ever told him that before. That surprised me.

Expectations are funny, at times good, and at other times bad, sometimes tragic, often disappointing, occasionally met. How does that saying go? Something like “the higher they climb the harder they fall.” So many applications, but in the context of expectations it’s a cautionary quip. Since it’s hard to argue against enjoying a GOOD surprise I suggest you take inventory of your expectations. Ask yourself whether or not you are more often disappointed or surprised. I feel pretty comfortable guessing that you would prefer the latter.  Here’s the best part, YOU determine what your expectations are. With the right aim it’s a lot easier to hit bulls-eye!

Couldn’t we all use a little more of the unexpected?
