Poem

One thing I’ve learned about life…in all the memories I’ve collected…is hot to embrace the unanticipated…the unforeseen…the unexpected

Oh, I still believe in planing trips with forethought, caution and care…but I’ve found unplanned moments can lead to happiness…I didn’t know was there.

I remember on a well-planned trip with Deborah…to Chattanooga, Tennessee…a wrong turn down a wrong street…ended at the Moon Pie factory.

If it wasn’t for that wrong turn…that little glitch in our vacation travel riddle…we would have never discovered Moon Pie makes a sandwich with marshmallow ice cream in the middle.

Thanks to one unplanned, unexpected turn in Chattanooga, Tennessee…Moon Pie ice cream was added to our list…of treasured memories.

I used to be a jogger…a daily routine to which I religiously kept…every morning I’d be out there running while the rest of my family slept.

But years of running…on my knees…was too much of a shock…and after two meniscus surgeries…my run became a walk.

I admit my initial disappointment I found difficult to hide…but when I ran…I ran alone…now I walk with Deborah by my side.

We walk together in the morning at slow and steady paces…enjoying the beauty of the animals, the trees and the breeze upon our faces.

I’m not sure how or why this happens…but I find it altogether stunning…how we see and hear things as we walk…I never saw or heard while running.

I don’t know why these moments come about…how by Fate they are selected…but I know whenever I eat a Moon Pie or take a walk with Deborah…I thank my lucky stars for every memory unexpected.
