PLANS
I can already tell you that I did not get done much of what I planned
to do this summer. I did not plant most of the flower gardens with my
daughters, nor a number of trees I had planned. The weeds made a
mockery of our vacation (“Ha. You think you can just go away and
we’ll wither on our own? No way, we wanna grow!) And all those
hiking and canoe trips? I never even got around to acquiring the
canoe.
But I did have a great summer and I did do a lot of amazing things.
It’s OK for plans to go astray. Do your best to make new plans as
you go, and make sure they are the best plans you can do with your
time. In the end, you will look back with no regrets.

That is the right outlook. Plans are subject to change at any time, and instead of being flustered by it, you have to look at it as a positive thing. Even if the immediate outcome is lacking in desirabilty, the effect down the road could be wonderful!

Plans do change on a regular basis, and change is not always what we like for it to be. I am still excited and upbeat at the opportunities that lay ahead of me, despite some pretty unsettling changes in my career path. I really enjoy having a plan and the security that keeping to that plan provides, but sometimes I get pleasantly surprised by things not going to plan and actually working out for the best.
