Pleasant Surprises

People always tell you to "expect the unexpected" but if you do so constantly, you lose out on life's little surprises. Sometimes you should just take things as they come and make the most of what you end up with. People will disappoint you, and let you down. You'll even let yourself down a time or two, but eventually you'll be pleasantly surprised. Not everyone is as awful as you assume, and some situations that seem like the end of the world, may actually only be the beginning. Life goes on. You survive. No matter how bad something seems at first glance, it can always be improved. Nothing in life is permanent. Sometime the only thing you can do is manage, or get by , but eventually you'll get better.

I'm not sure where this crazy, hopefully optimistic viewpoint came from but I like it. Sometimes, people simply amaze you and it gives you hope that things will be okay. Expect the worst if you must, but I'm telling you; things are never as bad as they seem.
