That's Different

I asked a question last night of people who had come around.  I did not expect to get answered the way I did.
It was what different has happened this week for you?  It was based on the fact that heaps different ha happened to Merril and I this week.  By different I mean something that the week does not normally contain.
I mentioned how Merril and I went for a walk.  It is months since we have done that.  I did not want to get carried away walking and was not disappointed.  We took about half an hour and according to Merril’s watch we walked 2.2 kms.
I also mentioned how the garage roller door needed fixing.  We got good and bad news.  The good news was it could be gotten going again by adding a couple of weights.  The bad news was we will need another door.
Merril mentioned hitting a bird in her travels.  There was much sympathy as she described the event.  I felt it was almost getting out of hand when she described looking in her rear-view mirror and seeing its mate next to it dead.
What I heard from others blew me away, even if the events occurr in most lives.
One person said, I bought a car.  In another town.  A broker found it for me.  I need to go get it in the next few weeks.  To me getting another car is a biggy.  That in my life only happens rarely.  The picking up of the car will tie in with a relative’s birthday celebration.
Then someone else said, I sold a block of land.  I so did not expect that.  They then described where it was, and the circumstances surrounding the sale.
What stood out to me is lives generally unfold in a certain manner.  Many things are repetitious.  Other things happen occasional.  No matter what, how I react in those situations matters.  I have a choice.  Some things end well and some don’t.  I just know I want to end well no matter the situation.
