“Would you like to know your future?
If your answer is yes, think again. Not knowing is the greatest life motivator.
So enjoy, endure, survive each moment as it comes to you in its proper sequence — a surprise.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Here, here!
I have to agree. Even through difficult times, when I might have said, “I wish I had known,” it was probably best that I didn’t. I would have made assumptions that there was nothing of value in a difficult experience. The surprise is that there often is.
You are spot on as usual, Tee. Growth always comes with growing pains! MJ
I totally agree. I like to think I can create my future to some degree, but I love the suspense and suprise that each new day brings…most of the time. Cheers to the New Year and what’s in store my friend!
Cheers to you! MJ
Our lives are in our Lord’s Hands, HE is the only One that needs to know. That’s why we need Faith.
Indeed and I do. Thank you Shirley 🙂 MJ
The question mark is almost always more intriguing than the answer.
For sure it is! Thank you for visiting 🙂 MJ
I like that quote and the photo to go with it. MJ, may your new year be full of pleasant surprises and hurdles to conquer and love to share.
