Drinks on a Patio

The idea of having drinks on a patio is not unto itself spectacular. Sitting out on a warm evening enjoying a tasty beverage is considered to be a pastime by many. Having drinks on a patio in Winnipeg in late September without needing a jacket of any type, that is nearly unheard of.

I have to put the experience into the category of the 'unexpected good thing.'

We all have unexpected good things in our life from time to time. You know all the moments that you really don't expect to happen but do. They can make your day,week, month, or year. They are what keep us going between the expected good things.

The expected good things are important. These are the events we wait for, sometimes for a long time, that we know will be good. It can carry you for a long time knowing that an expected good thing is coming, but it is the unexpected good thing that gives us the shot in the arm that keeps us going.

Often overlooked, the unexpected good thing, makes life fun and unpredictable just like drinks on a patio in Winnipeg late in September.
