the unexpected....
My friend Pia and I had tickets to see
Michael Buble two Friday's ago. She is not all that familiar with his
work, and I am barely.... I love his original hit "Home" and all the
covers that he has done. We went to the show, not expecting very much
from him...... To our surprise, this guy, who is probably younger than
we are, literally rocked the Constitution Hall. His voice was amazing.
His acts/dancing were interesting and his band made every one wish that
Big Bands were still in fashion. Michael Buble truly amazed us! He had
every person (male included!!!) in the house literally fall in love with
him. By the end of the evening - I officially nominated him as my
unofficial boyfriend, and Pia ended up purchasing his 2 cd's!
Last
night, it was Earth, Wind and Fire's turn to play at the Constitution
Hall. Amidst trying to see whether we could get tickets to their show,
Pia's friend mentions that he knows someone who knows EWF. He would make
a phone call. Pia called me mid last week, telling me the great news
that we will get to watch EWF. I was definitely excited, but did not
want to expect too much. I told friends that I think I was going to see
EWF, but would not confirm it until I was inside singing to September
and bopping to Fantasy!
Lo and behold, not only did we watch EWF,
we had 3rd row, centre aisle seats, and we had an all access pass to go
and see the guys backstage! Wow! What an unexpected treat!!!
Expectations....
can make or brake us. It can make or break relationships, situations
and our own personas. Expect too much, and you might be disappointed and
expect nothing, you may be nicely surprised.
I have been thinking
about Expectations lately. I wonder whether it would be better for me
to lower my expectations, not expect too much, and then be knocked off
my feet. However, at the same time, if I started to expect nothing from
relationships, situations and myself, how do I know that I am not just
settling for left overs?!
