This photo was taken about ten days ago in the parking lot of a tennis court around the housing. As soon as I got out of the car, in the glass of the next car there was a clear reflection that looks quite impressive. Realizing the opportunity to post something for Thursday, I shot the reflection several times with my cellphone camera before stepping into the tennis court.
I should have been able to post this picture last week, unfortunately, something else has succeeded in diverting the time allotment that I should have used to interact here and other times for various other important things. Well, indeed many unexpected things can happen in life, whether positive or negative. Even so, realizing that life is learning, then all things certainly give valuable lessons. One of the ancient Javanese philosophies says, “Sing eling lan waspodo” means that life must always be remembered, always conscious, awake and alert. I am sure you can understand the meaning, and know that on that basis, we will not be reactive to the things that come to us or we go.
Auch… My apology if this description does not match the reflection photo above. Also if my visit to your posts is decreasing lately till some time to come.

“If you want to make God laugh – make plans”.
That’s a good joke, Howard… Let me laugh now… lol
Its an old saying I guess. A Buddhist told it to me and it made me laugh.
Cheers.
We can learn many things from not so good things that happen to us all. It can give us inner strength.
Your opinion is correct and wise, I agree fully, dear friend.
Honestly, expect the unexpected sometimes becomes a way of life but it can all be good…..
I think, expect the unexpected is often a prayer for many people when the solution to the problem has not been found…
Yes, I think you are right Albert,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My opinion is that every thing that happens to us in life is good for a thing.
Yep! That’s a great point of view, dear Vida.
You have to deal with unexpected things in your life … so far I’m doing pretty well … you are also involved in tennis … great … I tried several times, but tennis is not exactly my virtue
Indeed, there are always many unexpected things in life, and I am glad that you are always able to respond and handle them well, dear friend.
I am not good at tennis, but I like sports with racquets, such as tennis, badminton and table tennis.
First, You do not have to visit my posts. I enjoy reading your posts and get great value. There is no tit for tat requirement.
As for the unexpected, I love the concepts of Ajahn Brahm

I know because you said it, Doc. However, there’s nothing wrong if I feel the need to visit your post too, right?
Nice to know you’re an admirer of Ajahn Bhram, Doc.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to visit the posts of others!
My view of life when something unexpected happens is to believe that something good will come out of it in a later time.
Wow! That’s a view which is always full of hope, Dee.
It is better than worrying about things I cannot control which was the thoughts of the late Tom Landry who was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League.
