			Ok, I'm not surprised actually, but Saturday morning TV, really sucks. However, I'm sitting with  yet the same ice pack on my knee. Ouch. Not surprised with that either, going up and down the stairs, well, took a toll. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			What does surprise me, the TV movie I stopped on. Made in 1986. Did we really have those shoulder pads in everything???

			What surprises me?  How people remember so much about things from the past. like in the throwback Thursday thread.  I have to look this stuff up or google it to remember or see it in a movie or look at old family pictures or something.   
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Like the above post, I watch a movie and go huh we really did that, looked like that, wore that whatever. Then I thing about it and go yup we sure did. It surprises me I don't just remember stuff like that off the top of my head.

			Human kindness and thoughtfulness always suprises me. Maybe I expect the worst of people based on my life experiences so when humans are selfless and kind I am suprised.

			Once again the kindness of strangers has suprised me. I probably pushed mom too much today with long walks. After dinner we went to the Christmas light festival at the park. I dropped mom off at a park bench and headed to the restroom. The next thing that I saw was mom going down to the ground. She had reached for the park bench but lost her footing on uneven ground.  
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I ran for her but two guys beat me to her and they both picked her up and put her on the bench. The two young guys were not alone, people ran to my mom from every direction. There are a lot of kind people walking around in the world. I am monitoring mom's leg but it looks yucky.  |

			The surprise of my tastebuds changing because of my diet... 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	That after a few weeks of a raw food vegan diet, I bought a small container of french fried onions (the type put on top of green bean casserole for Thanksgiving holiday meal), and I could taste the bitterness of it. I told myself "so this is what dead food tastes like, it doesn't have any nutrition." And they didn't have any bad ingredients in them! I threw them out. It reminded me of a potluck lunch I attended. I brought organic strawberries. Someone there told me "those are the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted!" I explained to him they were organic and didn't have the bitterness of the pesticides in them, and this is why there were so sweet. Deborah  |
