What's going to happen exciting today?

Benjamin Hoff in his book The Tao of Pooh asks

I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?

Well, he has Piglet asking himself that everyday when he wakes up. Winnie the Pooh has more of a one track mind, and wonders what's for breakfast - they then realize it is the same thing.

The word exciting is perfectly open ended here - not great, nor wonderful, nor soothing - but exciting. It may be a challenge, it may be difficult, even scary, but also exciting.
