Everyday, I get surprise challenges like; coffee maker malfunction, or butter on the floor. I would get angry until I realized that I will get at least ten everyday no matter what I do. I began to count them. Being surprise challenges, they are always different but here are some examples:
1. 4 A.M. can no longer sleep
2. stuck on the can with no paper
3. food on the kitchen floor Eeeew
4. kid wakes up screaming
5. cat crapped on the stairs
6. power goes out, reset the clocks
7. talk to nieghbor, everything I say is stupid stupid stupid
8. wife freaking out
9. kid starts screaming in store
10. can't get to sleep
I find that looking out for ten and counting them, makes life easier. I don't like surprises but they are going to happen. If I am waiting for it, it is no longer a surprise and something that I have accepted.
Can you identify and count Ten Surprise Challenges in your day? What are some of them?
