\"headstones\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tonight we went to a dinner theater. It was a murder mystery dinner theater. We had a lot of fun… and our table figured it out. But so did a few other tables…. and we didn’t win the big prize.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what the big prize was… but we sure did not win it.<\/p>\n

None the less… we shared the evening with some really nice and interesting people.<\/p>\n

Who knew.<\/p>\n

You expect it all to be about the baked chicken and rice dinner… when in fact…<\/p>\n

the poison jelly fish, the BMX stunt driver, … and conversations about new windshield wiper blades were the highlights of the evening.<\/p>\n

Another Whodunnit. Always something in the works.<\/p>\n

Yep it is true.<\/p>\n

So many times we go in to a situation, or an event, and we have a set of preconceptions, or expectations.<\/p>\n

And most of the time, the outcome is quite different than what we expected.<\/p>\n

Be it a community meeting, a work project, a basketball game, or a dinner theater.<\/p>\n

You just never know if it is going to be Colonel Mustard in the Kitchen with the Lead Pipe, or Miss Scarlett, in the Library, with the Knife.<\/p>\n

Life is full of pleasant surprises, and curious mysteries.<\/p>\n

And when I am happiest… is when I come to the realization…. that I may not have all the answers.\u00a0 And that is okay.\u00a0 In fact…. that is the way it should be.<\/p>\n
