Surprise!

Today I wont write nothing related to my addiction or Dark Cat issues, because it doesn't deserve more my pearls. Still hurts, still in the circle of pain, but my attitude is different. So, today I bring an article about Surprises, with the deep faith that I will receive one soon..but a good one!

Surprises? Yes, surprises, but not those that come within the package or in the Cracker Jack, no! I want to address all these unexpected events that occur in our journey through life. And I will address this topic of surprises, making an analogy of these, like a station where we may stop suddenly, or come by chance, and makes us experience unexpected emotions.

Surprise Station can have different scenarios: pleasant, cheerful, motivating, full of colors, with music, but also has gloomy, sad, monochrome, silent, full of heavy stillness. . Other, extremely stunning, breathtaking, that might cause tachycardia and shakes! If not, would not be surprising.  Many times we do not know what is going on until after a few hours we realize we have been with the mouth open and the eyes squared for a while! Let’s go to describe some of my categories.

The monochromatic surprise: Nobody likes, but that does not exempt anyone to experience it. Is that kind of surprise, which leaves you unmoved, limp, gasping, with dry lips and eyes staring? Is the station to which no one invites or is waiting for you, and BANG! GOTCHA!! Your friend with your boyfriend, your boyfriend with his ex, or with his ex, that you thought it was not. (I mean??) . It is also when you find your group of friends in the restaurant or club where they told you they were not going, because they had a lot of compromises, so they decided to postpone it. Not even in 10 years! Another scenario may be, when they assign the vacant position you wanted for you, to the curvaceous girl or the boy of summer, they do not even have half of the experience or knowledge you have! Finally, it is quite long the variety of surprises like these, so we could fill a book with them.

The colorful surprise: I love them! Who does not? Suddenly reach that station with lights, music, people smiling, and you are received by your prince or princess with a smile and a look that lets you know how happy they are, that you're there. WAOOO! Get Surprised when you realized your kids children are grown and independent, discerning, mature and successful, you never thought see them so! Your chest swells with pride! Receiving good news, those who did not expect ... Listen from the lips of someone you never thought you would, telling you he loves you and needs you.... mmm.

The issue with Surprise Station, is that we visit it often,  immediately we feel deep sadness and disappointment caused by the fact of being there, in the monochromatic station and even after picking up the jaw and when the eyes are no longer square, we may continue grieving for days, weeks, years about the incident. However, when we receive a colorful surprise, we hardly laugh, do not enjoy, nor delight in it, no celebration; far less to be thankful for that! Why? It is something wrong with the act of giving thanks or show joy and happiness? Is that bad?

I am going to mention just a sample to show my point. In a popular TV show in which a random person earns a lucky day and is rewarded with a sum of money to buy or pay whatever he or she wants. In most cases the lucky person looks distracted, unhappy, morbid, languishing, no laughs, no emotion, no nervous, an Iceberg! If I were, surely I would be jumping up and talking like a parrot, so maybe they would have to edit the program and look for parts in the recording where I did silence. It is possible that most people suffer from fear or stage fright? Why are not pleased of receiving money unexpectedly? Has a lucky day without asking means nothing?? I do not understand.

Perhaps this has to do with how we were raised, much or little affection, afraid to express feelings, very concerned about what they say. The belief and behavior that say: “I feel good, but better than no one notices”, I just disagree.  For me, enjoy a colorful surprise with great fanfare, even though this party sounds just in my heart, is part of life and joy. When I get Monochromatic Station, then bear my turn and move forward, I also know that God will not allow us to suffer more pain than we can bear, so I'm sure I'll stay at that station for a short time.

I promise myself, enjoy the most of my stay at the area multicolor, but when I say enjoy, means enjoying and savoring every drop of the joy nectar that gives us the colorful surprise whenever it happens! Salud!
