Just When You Think...

Just when you think you know someone really well, that person does something which astounds, disappoints, or terrifies you.

I've recently been disappointed and astonished by someone whom I thought I knew quite well. A previously unperceived attitude - which apparently had been very well hidden from me - surfaced and made me feel very uneasy, even somewhat afraid.

Just when you think you've seen everything, you realize you haven't!

One sleepless night, while channel surfing, I was held fast by a couple of commercials I'd never seen before. One was for condoms and the other was for a wonderful product called "warming jelly." I was amazed by the fact I had no knowledge about either product. Maybe now I had better be more careful about saying "I've seen everything!"

Just when you think you see light at the end of that long, dark tunnel, you become suddenly aware the light is a nasty train running 60 miles per hour to knock you off your feet!

My fractured bone has been healing quite nicely! I got over-confident and went grocery shopping without my cane. Needless to say, I picked up a box of dog biscuits (weighing only 8 lbs.) and twisted myself incorrectly. Down into a rather disheveled heap I went and, of course, didn't a crowd gather. Recovering from my total humiliation and realizing what a horrid mistake I had made, I ended up having to buy another cane before I left the store. That light I saw was more than likely a "fig newton" of my imagination!

Just when you think life is the pits, you suddenly become aware of all the cherries you've enjoyed along the way!

Ruminating about things I've done, places I've been, people I've met, and good and bad times has strengthened the need for and the importance of my memories. Turning the pages of my memory book affords me great comfort.
