This month is Summer planning month for me. As the days are longer, the dreams of Summer stretch further into my imagination.
Then paranoia sets in blocking my sunshine. My mother often said when I was a kid, Don’t plan because something will always go wrong.
I heard the heartbreak in her voice. Today, I feel my own when planning ahead. For her, I can say in my early years, events proved her right. What cycle is this that dampens dreams? I stop going on here about what I’d like to do, plans I make so as to break that cycle of something going wrong.
Somethings can also go right!

I love that summer hat. And I love to plan. If it goes wrong, you're disappointed -- but when it doesn't (and if you plan right, it USUALLY doesn't), life is good!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteLife is good on right. 😁 Planning can make it better. 👍

I rarely make plans beyond things that are necessary, because I know most will be messed up by life getting in the way. I prefer to take each day as it comes and roll with it.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
DeleteRoll with it is an admirable way to live each day.
A plan helps those of us that are too easily distracted to off trail. 🤣

The summer hat is lovely. I do like to plan, but I also enjoy an impromptu day every now and then.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
DeleteAn unplanned, getting out of the house, is always refreshing and fun.

I do like the look of that hat :)
ReplyDeleteI do prefer to have a plan but you do sometimes have to be flexible as best laid plans sometimes have to be changed!
All the best Jan
Jan,
DeleteChange does have its perks. The hat band is a seed beaded belt from probably the 1950-60s. I rarely find them at rummage sales or thrift stores. What I see online isn’t vintage.

I don't like planning for trips. I love it when I get to my destination, but I don't like the planning at all. It's too much of this and too much of that haha. Have a nice break. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteSheri,
DeleteWorking out hotels and such is not a fun thing to do. The route plan on a map is my style of planning. 🤣
