Ever meet those people who have to set a plan for everything? They're always asking ...What's your plan for today? What's your plan for this week? What's your plan for this month? What's your plan for this year? What's your plan for this second? Well, you get the point.
Personally, sometimes I think it's best to operate without a plan. I'm not "technically" a religious person, but sometimes I do believe that my life is predetermined and God, or whoever it is that put together my plan, has it all charted out for me. I'm sure if there is a God, then he certainly has a woman in his life doing all the planning for each and every one of his creations. So why would I need to worry about my plan for every last second when it's already in place.
I've found that if you live life that way, it takes a ton of the worry out of it. You can just live in the moment and cruise through your predetermined events enjoying each one as they come. So far, things have seemed to fall into place for me, but when a friend of mine asked me what my plan was for my 36th year on this good earth, I wasn't about to tell her I didn't have one. You know how certain friends expect bigger and better things out of you each and every year? You know those friends we call women. Well, she's one of them and I've learned to respect her opinion over the years. I'm not quite sure what she's thinking all the time and I like that. It makes friends more interesting.
Kidding aside, when my friend asked me my plan, I actually thought for a second about establishing a grand plan this year. I was gonna get started the next day with my pen and pad, carefully writing down all my hopes and dreams and then crossing them off one at a time. But then I realized my life just doesn't work like that. Life isn't a plan. Life is what happens between the plans. So, in theory, I guess I just answered her question. What's my plan for my 36th year? My plan is to continue living in every last moment between everyone else's plans. I'm not saying those of you who go plan crazy are wrong. I'm just saying, think about my way of doing things and when it's all said and done, we'll see who has more fun.
You know, the only real planning I have for life is my bucket list. I generally live life the same way. I do have plans with anything I'm passionate about like my new escapades into online scrapbooking classes...i plan to make some money next year! lol!
ReplyDeleteYa, but you're a woman. You have to have a few plans because there are men in your lives that you have to keep cruising through their "uncharted" existence. And, in your case, two little cruisers...haha I scoped your site. It looks like you're making good decisions and the classes are falling into place. I'm sure you'll make great strides with it this year Mo. Keep working hard and enjoying those moments between the plans. And you'll do great. I know it! Let me know if I can do anything to spread the word. I was thinking of posting a link, but wasn't sure where to put it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian! You could just post my blogspot link and anyone can comment for a chance for a free class. Or you could just click "share" on my FB post.

Yah, if I didn't book and plan out our trip (as in plane and car rental), we wouldn't be vacationing this coming week. No kiddos, just us...not sure what we're going to do when we get to Palm Springs! LOL! I hear they have great LGBT clubs...and that's all I know! I need to research!
Cool. I posted it for ya.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll have to attend a class some time. It could be fun.
You'll have to let me know how vacation goes.
