Out of the Blue

Some people have extremely good radar. You know the type. They anticipate and usually know what's going to happen next. They rarely ask a question that they don't already know the answer. I am married to one of these people and it is a skill I admire daily.

I am the opposite. I'm not stupid but I get the bejeezus shocked out of me on a regular basis. Lately, I seem to have lived my life on the planet of "Whoa! Didn't see that coming!"

Out of the blue, both oldies died. It shocked me to the core.
Out of the blue, new clients are emerging.
Out of the blue, childhood friends are reconnecting. (Never underestimate drunk dialing.)
Out of the blue, my blinders blew off and many issues are seen with new clarity.

Out of the blue, I've come out of the blues. My back yard is blooming. So am I.
