Mama Picture This

We were thrilled to find zillions of these star fish and other sea life down at the far south end of Seaside... we'd never been that far at low tide before. We also had some fun with scads of tiny and large crabs there too. 

We enjoyed the expected and the unexpected things we found at the coast this year. I am hoping for more good news but finding myself feeling worried and uncomfortable and starting to lean toward the negative. I am trying to remember that even if the unexpected happens and it isn't what we thought we wanted, there may be a reason and something else unexpected in a positive way may be just around the corner. 

How do you deal with hoping for one outcome but worrying about another?
