Paul and I went to a party this past weekend where I got to meet a bunch of his friends. The girl throwing the party introduced me to everyone as “Paul’s girlfriend, Sandy.” Then later she said to Paul, “I really like your girlfriend.” And he replied with “Isn’t she great?” So..... I think I’ll start calling him my boyfriend. :) Also.. group date tomorrow night!! Yes, “group” but a “date” nonetheless!
Anyways, what’s been on my mind a lot is the future. I’m a planner. What will I eat for lunch? What will I buy my mom for Christmas? What will be the theme of my 30th birthday party? Stuff like that. But what I’ve noticed lately is that as much as I “plan” a perfect day, event, activity, life happens and things don’t always go as perfect as I would like. For example, I’m going to school to be a teacher, but as it turns out I might not be able to get a job in that field and am considering exploring a completely different field. So it is worth it to plan? Do you just fly by the seat of your pants? Let me know what you think :)
Also... I stole this idea from someone else but I'm gonna post a song every week that I'm feeling. Hope you enjoy.

To: Paul's Girlfriend (lol). I always say this but it's true. tomorrow is never garaunteed. So much could happen that is beyond your or anyone else's control. planning is good because it means you value your future. you have ambitions and goals for your life. you want to be somebody and you want to do things, in this case improve the lives of children through education. However, things can and do change at the drop of a hat and it is our ability to adapt and see a perceived obstacle as an opportunity that shows our true strength and really shows us how much value we place on our future. Basically what I'm saying is, planning is good and you're a planner, so be who you are but when things don't go your way you have to learn to roll with the punches. This alone will give your life balance. Allow your thoughts to plan (since they do naturally) AND put your faith in the fact that everything will turn out the way it is supposed to, even if it's not how you planned.
