The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was another cloudless fiery fling into the twilight as the sky lit with orange, then slid from view. I sat in awe, then ran the puppy to get a puppy sundae.
I was planting the garden today with perfect precision. Making sure each tomato plat was in line with the last, and each cucumber was ready to rock and roll. Then I laughed. For all the planning I do each year, as soon as the plants take off, they are everywhere. It becomes pure chaos no matter how well I plan, no matter how much I do to curtail the spread of everything.
It is amazing to me how so many people try to plan everything. No matter how hard you try, there are so many things that can slide to the side it sometimes just wavers and falls. Ooops. I am not saying that not having a plan is a good thing, you just have to remember that plans have to be flexible enough to adapt, and in the process we have to truly understand that everything is fluid, and there are very few absolutes.
What do you think? Do you plan your moments to the T and find them lining up to exactly what you want? Do you let the cards fall where they may, and realize that everything may or may not line up, but you will get through it, or is there another choice?
No matter how you approach it, find success, and just remember, sometimes what you think of as linear can turn to chaos in this thing called life, and as it does, it can be pretty funny.
So as the sun sets on another day, fail to plan can be a plan to fail, but a plan without end cannot adapt to the rigors of life. Find a way to enjoy your life with and without planning, and as you do, I hope you find spectacular wonders each day, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and be super…
