Surprising goodness

Sometimes life surprises you with its goodness. 

You thought you knew how it would work out.  You thought you knew what happiness felt like, or at least looked like.  You thought you knew what it was that would make you happy.   

Then life throws you a curve ball and surprisingly you swing and make contact and the ball goes sailing out of the park.  It wasn't supposed to happen that way....but then, the way it turned out is even better than anything that you ever conceived.  In fact, you thought it was only this good in other people's lives, or actually, you thought that when they attempted to describe the goodness, you thought they were ridiculous, illogical and exaggerating.  But now you know, and you can't believe that you get to experience this joy.
