Plans

Have you ever noticed how you can plan something and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't? That forces beyond our control take over and don't allow us to do what we had planned. Case in point: It rained today and I had planned to mow the lawn. Now, I don't know when I will because the rest of the week is booked or at least "planned" out. Will my plans change? Who knows but I would think that they might. Although, my plans are pretty well set unless a dire emergency comes about, plans through Thursday and even into Saturday won't and probably can't change. Interesting. Why do we plan things? Do we think we have some semblance of control over things in our lives? I know for a fact that we don't. External forces can exert themselves and our plans come to naught. Is that good or bad? I don't know but I do know that we need to be sufficiently flexible to change plans when the need arises. What am I trying to say? Well, I had "planned" on going to be tonight at about 10:00 and here it is 11:47. Did something earthshaking occur? Nope, just got caught up in other things and here I am about 2 hours late. Plans, you gotta love 'em.
