I've learned a lot over the years, but one thing that surprised me is that I don't always respond to things the way I thought I would. So many times I've thought..if 'this' happens then 'that' is the way that I would react.

For instance, I thought if I ever got divorced or my husband were to leave me I'd end up in a corner crying my eyes out and being scared to death to face the world. Turns out that I'm doing just fine on my own and life is better than I ever thought it would be.

I've learned that sometimes it's best that the thing you really wanted to have happen, doesn't happen at all. But it usually takes a bit of time to figure that one out.
