A Year to Change: Conversations with women on choice, connections, and clarity in midlife

Things are supposed to just work the way they are supposed to. There aren’t supposed to be surprises when making tomato sauce or bread. I always hope there aren’t surprises when installing new soft ware on my computer. I understand that’s a pipe dream… Nevertheless, a body can dream, can’t she?

Accidents are unexpected, by definition. On the road, the accidents that require police intervention are not so good. But when an accident in the kitchen yields a great taste, well, that’s good.

But I think there’s something about the difference between dependable and expected. They closed Grey’s Anatomy episode, Great Expectations with this thought:

You gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations
The expectation is just what keeps us steady, standing still,
the expected is just the beginning
the unexpected is what changes our lives.

Maybe it’s that unexpected whatever that starts the ball of change rolling?
