Life is learning to fly by the seat of your pants

I am a planner. I like to know the who, what, where, why, and how of everything in my life. You would think after 40+ years that I would have learned that nothing EVER goes as planned. As my sister, Jul, will tell you--I am a worrier. There is a perfectly good reason for that, you see, if I look at every aspect of my life and plan for every possible outcome then I will be ready for anything. Unfortunately, I usually don't think of the very outcome that happens.

So, I have decided the reason we are here on earth is to learn to fly by the seat of our pants, you know, improvise. One of the many artists that I enjoy is Phil Vassar. He has a song that describes my new philosopy:

It's a crazy life

It keeps you on your toes

You never know what lies in store for you or

where it's going to go

Hellos, Goodbyes

You laugh, you cry

You're free to pick and choose

You win or lose

You're either wrong or right

It's a crazy life

So, when I get all flustered because something didn't go as planned, I shrug and say "It's a crazy life." But, you know, I have decided I like not always knowing what is going to happen. It makes life an adventure and I'm always up for an adventure!
