Spontaneity definitely! It is the best surprise. The person on the other end of the gesture is less likely to let me know that something is going on because they haven’t had time to make elaborate plans. It’s not the event that causes my lack of luster for a surprise either (I love a good time) it’s usually the result of out of the ordinary behavior that fails at capturing me unexpectedly. I call it the lull of the surprise. It was too weighted down to “pop” with delight of unawareness. Spontaneity says let’s go to the beach, of course I’m all in. Now if I get there and I’m surprised it’s all good. The key to surprises is that you have to keep everything the same, that’s what makes it fun. I can honestly say few have pulled off such attempts. But hey I’m the girl who dances in the rain. I didn’t have time to prepare for it, and that’s what made it special. ~ thoughts on personality
As I stated yesterday I went for a walk and enjoyable it was. It was windy and I loved it. 70 degrees and a breeze didn't make for a bad time outdoors at all. Needless to say it brought yesterday's earlier agitation (read totally perturbed) to a simmer and provided an interesting perspective. I relished the blowing air and thought about my time in college. It was great and I got through it with out too much drama or incident (with the exception of a few memorables, which is for another day another post). That being said, I didn't drink, smoke or experiment with drugs. I don't say that as some type of badge of honor because that's not the case at all. But it was apparent, that somewhere along the way I truly believed what my grandparents told me growing up about character, honor, and integrity. However, the older I get I've grown wary or maybe even cynical at what maybe appears to be watered-down standards we've immersed ourselves in society. Notice I say ...
