...that you wouldn't be going to work, but, surprise, surprise, you did.
...that things would be the same as yesterday, but, surprise, surprise, they weren't. (Are they ever, really?)
...that you were immune to letting stress bother you, letting
uncertainty rattle you, letting failure undermine your confidence, but,
surprise, surprise, you're no more immune than anyone else.
...that a hot shower and a change of scenery could reset your head from a
trying day, but, surprise, surprise, the shower and the scenery only
work some of the time.
...that you could change the world, or at least your own world, with a
letter or a conversation or a decision, but, surprise, surprise,
changing is a whole lot harder than staying the same.
...that, at the end of the day, you would at least have people in your corner, and, hey, you do.
...that, at the end of the day, a warm meal and a warm robe could make a little difference, and hey, it did.
...that you could, for a moment, put away the stress and the uncertainty and the failure, and just smile, and hey, it worked.
Sometimes thinking doesn't translate to happening, but once in a while
it does. So keep thinking--you might just end up with what you thought.
