249. Unexpected

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really means to “get used to what I didn’t expect, ”especially now, when the unexpected seems to show up daily in the smallest and most persistent ways. In this episode, I reflect on everything from fading multitasking skills to ever-changing technology, and the strange new reality of talking to AI instead of a human being. Some of it works beautifully. Some of it leaves me completely undone. What I’m beginning to understand is that this “art” isn’t about mastering change once and for all. It’s about meeting it again and again, with as much patience and humor as I can muster. Not always gracefully, and certainly not perfectly, but with a willingness to keep trying. If I can stay open, ask for help, and maybe even laugh along the way, then perhaps the unexpected isn’t something to fear… but something I’m still learning how to live with ... and occasionally, even enjoy.
