Unexpectedness

Tonight I am grateful for two things that happened that were completely unexpected. Firstly, I got five hours of sleep overnight, then another one and a half hours after breakfast this morning. The difference in my mood, energy level and overall outlook, compared to three hours of sleep, is enormous. Secondly, I went out for dinner with friends to a renowned local dumpling place. I expected to have a rice dish while the others enjoyed dumplings because of my wheat allergy. As it turned out, the restaurant had gluten free dumplings marked on their menu so I was able to gorge on the little pockets of tastiness as well. This has been the best day I've had in a week and a half; things are looking up!
