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?

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.
