Last week I filed my taxes and began a frenzy of travel planning. I completed that today by securing a rental car for my trip to LA in October.
This is the only kind of planning that make sense to me, for better or worse.
Travel is the reason we have time zones. Things related to travel have schedules. If you want a good seat on your train or plane you have to buy your ticket early. When you visit, you let people know when, so they're home or can warn you they won't be.
Planning your life? That's a whole other thing. Those plans, for which you take action now for a desired result in the future, tend to be based on many things below your awareness, and make your plans more of a gamble.
I have never won one of those life-planning bets - I apparently lack the perspective and insight to have designed my life as it is now, and it's a good thing that life happened whenever I made a plan, to paraphrase John Lennon, because I like the way things turned out, despite my plans.
Yes, I am grateful my life is good now, despite the plans I made to have a life that wouldn't have lived up to what living delivered.

Diet Comment
I was spectacularly bad this weekend, thanks to the fabulous gift of a chocolate babka and two almond croissants from Breads Bakery, where the best-in-my-experience of those two items is made. I cannot apologize or feel regret. I don't do this very often.
