While the unknown is often scary, whether it be what you want, where you are going next, etc., it often brings surprises.  Sometimes not knowing what will happen next can make you more open to what does happen.  Sometimes those surprises make all the difference.  I answered the phone one day, before caller id, and talked to a friend of a friend.  Later that night, because of that call, I met my husband!  Answering the phone that day and agreeing to go to a basketball game (which I could really care less about, but I was bored and needed something) changed my whole life!  The wanting something and the unknown turned out to be 8 years (and counting) and 3 beautiful kids.  All I had to do was be open to the unknown.
