When asked what surprises him, the Dalai Lama is supposed to have said: “Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.”
With due respect to the Dalai Lama, what he supposedly said was not a surprise. I think that would be my response to another question: ‘What saddens you?”
However, I began to wonder about what surprises me? I’m thinking about it and should have a post with my answer ready soon.
I would like you to share your answer with me. Don’t comment – please use the contact form to do so. I will then add your answers (with your link) to my post. Please click on the pink button on the far right of this page that reads ‘contact’. Let’s make it a “co-operative post”.
What surprises you?
Waiting to hear from you.
May you be inspired – every day!

Um an I a complete dolt….? I can’t seem to find the contact form.
@jovane - no your not, Jan. It’s my mistake. Can you see the pink ‘contact’ button on the far right?
@jovane Nope definitely not a dolt. I couldn’t see the big flashing neon pink contact button neither. Hey, that’s an idea… big and flashy.
@CorinneRodrigues Done. But, here is something that doesn’t surprise me… when I go to comment on a post and can’t recall which log-in I used and I end up having more than one account. lol I suppose I will make it easier on myself and just always use FB.
Love the idea and I look forward to the next post. xoxo
I messaged you. This cooperative post idea is cool…
@ElizabethRodriguez I got it – thanks!
