The journal prompt for this day was: List the big and small surprises that have happened to you.
- I surprised myself when I last minute decided not to snort cocaine. I am sure that decision changed the course of my life.
- I was surprised to be picked to ride around the circus when I was 5.
- I am often surprised when a student who has remained almost anonymous in my classroom finds a way to let me know how much I mean to them.
- I surprise myself when I finish something I start like college, quilts, journals, a cleaning project, a 100-count-stack of notebooks to grade, etc.
- My love for Bob surprises me almost daily...and his love for me surprises me even more.
- I was surprised to win best student-mentor pair with Dana C! Five hundred bucks!
- I was surprised when I found out I was pregnant at 18 and surprised over and over with what I was capable of doing in order to raise that surprise.
- New flowers in Spring always surprise me, as do the changing leaves every Fall.
- Bob's enjoyment of Saugatuck and scooters surprises and delights me.
- My ability to be a cut-throat poker player surprises me.
- My creativity surprises me.
- Squirrels surprise me. Birds surprise me. Deer surprise me.
