This is RELATABLE! Finding the balance between over planning & being open to what comes is a challenge. When I over plan, I feel controlling & bossy, but to me that is completely preferable to being seen as lazy & unprepared. So I guess my question is, where’s the difference between being open to what comes & not putting in the effort to do something well? I’d rather have a plan I can scrap than have no plan. But it’s so important to allow for downtime & for spontaneous things to happen & sometimes it’s not possible to plan for things. Over Christmas my family took a trip to Port Angeles & my son got a stye & we spent quite a bit of time at urgent care trying to figure out what was up with his eye. So then it was how to let go of the plans we had made & find a way to make the best of the experience. I’m still working on figuring it out the balance also. Great post, Margaret. Lots to think about & remember. ❤️
