Mr. Surprise visited me this week, sent from author Roger Hargreaves. He brought joy and reassurance when things were uncertain in life. The message he carried said, "interesting opportunity that suits your skills, passions, interests and situation...but act fast!". How tangible an experience, thought myself, the reader. It isn't everyday you run into the middle of a storybook and have the result become real change in your everyday life.

As he left, the reader wondered; who will be next to meet Mr. Surprise. Will it be Mrs. Surprise? This is silly, I don't live in book. But oh, this encounter did feel magical.
