Disappointment {#Reverb11}

Prompt:  Disappointment

What was the one disappointment that has turned out to be a blessing in the last 12 months? How will this affect how you deal with disappointment in the future?

I'd been anxiously watching the weather forecast all week, it was looking good . . . .  cold but dry. 


Then Saturday morning came and as my husband and I headed off to attend an outdoor Art Show, the rain started and my heart sank.

We were cold, we were wet and it was looking like it was going to be a non event.  Pretty disappointing considering all the preparation we'd put into getting there.

As it turns out the folks of Alexandria didn't let a bit of rain dampen their spirits and while the show may not have seen the number of attendees that it normally does it ended up being the best show that we've done so far!
 
It just goes to show that for a girl who usually views the glass as 'half empty' things aren't always as bad as they seem.
 
Tell me about your disappointments that turned out to be blessings in disguise.

  3. I love pleasant surprises, so I'm happy that business was better for you than expected. My son recently moved out of the house for the first time. He moved out of state. The experience was not so great, so he is back with us for a short time... but he said he learned a good lesson from the experience... part of the growing-up process that we all go through.
