That’s Not The Plan

That’s not what we had planned …

How often do we find ourselves repeating a version of these words?!

My plans involved long days and a healthy dose of sunshine. Nature, as it is wont to do, had other plans.

Because, plans - and their close friends, expectations - don’t always match with reality. Disappointment and frustration can often result.

As we dodged the raindrops and gathered indoors, it served to remind us that

when we release our expectations and plans, 

adapt to our current reality, and 

be open to whatever changes come our way, 

a whole lot of joy may be found.

All the more reason to hold those plans lightly, don’t you agree?!
