Plans For Life

While on the way to work one morning last week at 5:30 am, a song by Alan Jackson came on the radio and one line of it quickly got my attention and started me to thinking.

The line was: "Never had a plan, just livin' for the minute".

You know, I have felt that I always had a plan but for some reason everyone else in my life seems to change those plans.

I started off out of school and was going to "set the world on fire". Here I am in the last quarter of my life at the most and am still trying to accomplish a plan.

Plans do not seem to work in the "real world". I have been in love and married 3 times (for life). I'm not in bad shape, but I'm not where my plans had me at this time in my life.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming anyone else for my life but I,m just trying to say that the control of our life is minimul.

Do the best you can and try not to hurt anyone.

Does all of this make sense? I guess the poet Robert Burns said it best in Ode To A Mouse. "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang oft aglay"
(often go astray).
