In My Opinion

Hi Readers –
Anything Can Happen Day

Some days are ordinary days. When you get up in the morning, you can pretty well say how the day will go. Those days may not be exciting, but at least they are predictable.

Some days are extraordinary days. When you get up in the morning, you know something unique, and possibly wonderful, is scheduled to happen on those days: first-days-of-school, birthdays, Christmas, New Year’s Eve into New Year’s Day. These are all examples of those scheduled, extraordinary days. Most of us look forward to, and enjoy, these days.

And then there are those unscheduled, unpredictable, extraordinary days. I think of them as Anything-Can-Happen Days. You wake up in the morning and think, “Ah, a Tuesday. I know what to expect out of Tuesdays.”. And then – Pow! For better or worse, you find yourself in the middle of an Anything-Can-Happen-Day. You meet your-own-true-love on the subway; your lottery ticket has all the winning numbers; your plumbing decides to become a fountain shooting ten feet into the air; or your boss announces he’s sending you on a business trip to Antarctica… in July.

Suddenly, your life is turned around and headed in a whole new direction, with no control and little pre-planning on your part. It is both how we look at and how we handle Anything-Can-Happen Days that really determine what kind of days they actually turn out to be.

In this Issue of 4 Star Stories we meet a number of people having really interesting Any-Thing-Can-Happen Days. I believe you’ll find that the days they are having and how they handle them are more than worthy of your exploration.

Enjoy your explorations! And remember – at 4 Star Stories anything can happen.

And this is 4 Star Stories, Autumn 2013, Issue #Eleven!

Enjoy!

I look forward to seeing you in the Winter Issue of 4 Star Stories.
