Just When You Think

Just when you think today is the day for a long-awaited dinner with an old friend, it turns out it's really just a snowy dinner at home day.
 

Just when you think you'll be home in time to cook dinner, even if that requires stopping to pick up missing ingredients, you end up staying later at work than you ever do, and what you're picking up is take-out.
 

Just when you think there's gonna be a snow day, you find out that "State of Emergency" doesn't necessarily mean "State of Snow Day."
 

Just when you think you've gotten the "shoes in the foyer" situation under control, it snows, and the foyer's full of boots--now wet--all over again.
 

Just when you think things from your past are in the past, you read posts on Facebook that remind you that the past doesn't always stay in the past.
 

Just when you think you are perfectly satisfied with the present, things appear in your path that make you question "satisfied."
 

Just when you think you have mastered something, you realize you still have much more to learn.
 

Thankfully, life doesn't go in a straight line. Just when you think it does, you realize how zig-zaggy it can be. And isn't that what keeps it interesting?
