If there’s one thing I’ve learned through my 46 years on this blue sphere spinning into nothingness, it’s to expect the unexpected. I am a planner at heart (get it from my mom) with datebooks, lists, setting goals, whiteboards, reminders, spreadsheets, etc. I’m not the best organizer with my physical items, but I love making lists. The hard part for me is when something on my list gets thwarted by life’s inconsistencies. It drives me batty, honestly. And its something I’ve been trying to work on. Observing the left turns and obstacles that arise, stepping back, and using them to my advantage. It doesn’t always work, but it helps keep my mind and soul from getting crushed. Lemonade out of lemons as it were.
