The best laid plans

Good advice that I don't take....make plans, but do it in pencil!

I have been working off two diaries for the last couple of years. One for my handbag, so I can organise work, and one on the desk at home, well...for organising home life!! I do, of course, have to remember to write in both of them, or it just doesn't work!

But I do tend to write in both diaries in pen.

I like to be organised! I like to know where I'm meant to be, and when I'm meant to be there. More importantly, I like to know when I don't have to be anywhere, and don't have to be doing anything!

I'm thinking along these lines tonight because plans were made today for a night out in March. We still haven't had the night out that we originally planned for March 2012!!! I have written the date, in both diaries, in pen, in the hopes that that will make them less likely to be altered or cancelled altogether!

I am very aware though that I need to be a bit more open to spontaneity. I tend to panic at the thought of sudden changes in plan. I feel the need to be in control, I think. Something I definitely need to work on. Much less stress involved if you don't feel the need to be in control all the time!!

Today I am grateful for useful trains of thought! I had no idea where I was going with this tonight, and yet here I am at another insight!

Time I started doing something about it!!

Gratefully yours.
