Howdy Y'all!!! Well, second shift is fixing to start up so I won't be working so much overtime and have more time to do things. I never seem to have enough time to get things done, but I have time to get enough things done.
Which brings me to my topic today. Why do people get so upset when things happen to cause them to change their plans?
I never plan anything and it drives Angel crazy. She says she just doesn't see how I can just go through life by the seat of my pants. Really I don't, I just don't get upset when things happen that are beyond my control. I don't worry about them because there isn't anything I can do about them and that which I can control, I do. (That's another story for another time).
On Fridays, I have a list of things that I would "like" to get done sometime that weekend, but it doesn't really matter if I do. This list includes everything. There is nothing that I have to do. I do it that way because I never know what's going to happen. Friends may drop by, family may come to visit or I just might get up and not feel like doing anything.
Most people aren't like this. They have to have every hour of every day planned out, and if something unexpected happens, they lose it. Why live all our lives on a schedule? Don't most of us spend enough time doing that with work? Why worry about doing it on the weekend?
For me the weekends are my time. Time to do what I want. Time to spend with family and friends. If I have something i need to do like mow the yard then I get up early Saturday morning and do it. Laundry? after the yard. Then I have the rest of my weekend for what ever i want. If it rains then I might not do anything, or I will pull out my list of things I would like to get done sometime or another and see what I want to do off of it. But I don't get upset.
People need to learn to relax and enjoy life. The old saying goes "Stop and smell the roses." Well my saying is "stop and feel the recliner or couch." LOL.
If you're one of these people who plans everything, then plan some time for yourself this week. Who knows, you just might like it and before you know it, you're not scheduling it, you're just doing it. I'm willing to bet that your life will be better for it, and your family will thank you for it.
So take time to chill and talk to y'all later. Bye y'all!!!
