Some plans really don’t get done the way you think it would. Even if everything you need is already in place, with your willingness to get things going in-gear, one thing or another comes in the way.
But then again, maybe the plan itself wasn’t so… well…, well-planned.
So you get the feeling that time, and life, your life just whizzed you by. Leaving you by the roadside all dusty and wondering; ‘What the?!…’.
But is all life supposed to be all that planned? Isn’t life’s surprises more awe-inspiring than all those wonderful things we ever envision happening for ourselves?
Of course…, not all surprises are welcome. Most are things you won’t ever want even for your worst enemy.
But if you do take stock, you’d see and learn to recognize that many of those little everyday things that we often take for granted, are actually gift-wrapped packages that are unobtrusively sent your way.
A baby’s smile, your love’s hug, a kiss, your child’s belly laugh. All fleeting. Yet realize and savor these and you’d invariably feel grateful, undeserving, but all in all; just blessed.
It’s like learning to watch the night sky, only when we purposely look up and watch out for it do we see a shooting star whiz by.
