My happy surprise

Since I was a child I have always liked surprises, just the excitement you feel when you get something you do not expect, just a memory comes to me when I was 13 years old, I got a bicycle rin 20, I remember the colors it had, light green with black, that was my Christmas present, I thought at that time that I would not get anything because I was always misbehaving, I was very naughty and I think that at 39 years old, I still have something naugh.

A thought of my own in which I believe.

"Good surprises gladden the soul and bad surprises leave a teaching."

Just remembering some of the surprises that have given me throughout my life, I am very excited and happy, I thank God for each of the people who managed to surprise me, since it is not easy to surprise me because I tend to analyze some behaviors of the people around me.

I also remember how some friends surprised me with a cake on my birthday, the truth is that I don't usually celebrate my birthday, but some years ago my friends gave me that surprise and I am really glad, I thank them all because I was going through a difficult time at that time.

I still have a surprise that an ex-girlfriend gave me about 10 years ago, she gave me a carved wooden heart and also another one made with a metallic blue wire, of course she surprised me with those hearts at different times, now we are friends since we stopped being boyfriend and girlfriend, she is a very good friend and the truth is that I appreciate her.

I have been through many things in my life and fate has also surprised me in different ways, including painful things like when I was on vacation in the capital of my country and they call me to give me the bad news of the death of an aunt who I loved as my second mother, these are things that I still remember with deep pain, but fate has also surprised me with moments of happiness. Like the time I was hospitalized and I felt so bad that I thought I was going to die and I remember that I got worse with an injection they gave me, some aunts that were with me at that moment got scared because they saw how I was turning purple because I could not breathe, I remember they called the doctor and they started to treat me, they gave me oxygen and other things, but destiny did not let me die, The truth is that I am surprised to have been saved that day, you know there are so many things that I have gone through and learned, I am one of those who think that in life you have to take advantage of opportunities to learn, acquire a lesson and share it with others so that they know how to react if the same thing happens to them.

I remember the surprise that a great friend of mine gave me, when he chose me as godfather of his last son, the truth is that I did not expect it since he could have chosen anyone, after that I had the opportunity to be present in the most important moments of the life of that great friend.

I thank the community of the ink well, for allowing me to remember the surprises that many people have made me, the surprises that life has given me and that I have shared with many of my friends, thanks @theinkwell and to you who are reading my post for taking a little of your time to read my publication I appreciate it, I send a big hug to the team of the ink well and to each of the members of the community.

The truth is that I have had many surprises, some of them are bad but others are very good and if you knew that I think the same, it is a great honor to be a godfather. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my post.

Life is full of surprises: some pleasant, others not so much. The important thing is to know how to appreciate each surprising moment, good or bad, it is always received as a life lesson.
Thanks for sharing.
Good day.

Certainly some surprises are bad, but there are others that are very good, the important thing is that one tries to learn from both, well at least that is my case. Thanks for taking some of your time to read and comment on my post.
