Surprises

"Momma, look! I did my doll's hair in a bun! Well actually, it was supposed to be a ponytail."

"Oh, wow! Do you like the way it turned out?" 

"Yeah!"

"It's kind of fun to be surprised sometimes and have things turn out differently than you thought, huh? Sometimes you get something better!"

"Yep!"

And that's why when it comes to the future, instead of making assumptions , thinking worst-case scenario, or saying, "I don't know how that's going to turn out," I just say,

"It'll be a surprise!"
