Expect the Unexpected

Life holds many uncertainties. Although we would like to think that we are in full control, most of the time we are  not. Many of us use the phrase "Murphy's Law". Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Some weeks life runs smoothly and others seem like a black cloud is following you. Lately, I follow the rule of "Expect the Unexpected". This really means that we should all have a plan B when plan A fails. I have always tried to instill in my children to think of a solution even before there is a problem. Sometimes the first and second plans go awry but if you have thought  three steps ahead, there is much less aggravation.  I hate surprises whether they are good or bad. I like to be on top of things. Life is so much easier that way.
