thank heavens it doesn't turn out the way you expect it to

I was chatting to a friend the other night about that time so many people hit where they think "life did not turn out the way I expected it would." I was telling her that it's a good thing and not something that should disappoint her too much

When I left high school, I was going to be a psychologist and childless. Still no kids but I never imagined getting married, let alone owning a house in the country. So far so good! I didn't finish university, barely finished two years of psych courses before I got distracted :-) So falling into an industry that many people would give their eye teeth to work in was such amazing luck. Even now that I don't have a job in that industry (be it temporary or permanent) I am still overwhelmed with possibilities it has offered me going forward.

Honestly, reading about your adventures & challenges has been very helpful in remembering that change and openess is good.
