Different Places

Life is full of challenges. Life is full of ups and downs. Life is not perfect or dull. I guess in some ways this is all good for it definitely makes life interesting and helps keep us on our toes.

There are times that WE as a couple, or WE as family, or WE as friends, or even WE as strangers are in a "different place". Knowing how to recognize, appreciate, support, etc. this is sometimes one of those life challenges.

There are times when some may like to or have to live in"spur of the moment" rather "planned" events while other we or they care about may like to or have to have those "planned" events rather leaving things to chance or "spur of the moment". These different places can cause some challenges or conflicts but the willingness to compromise or at least recognize the others situation makes these different places easier to visit (and deal with).

I am writing this to perhaps help others see that there are other sides but mostly to help myself with my own internal conflicts of wanting to be able to plan (so as to have something to look forward to for more time than a minute) and feeling that it is not always the best for me to plan then have to disappoint myself or others. I do like to plan and have something to look forward to but I also like the spur of the moment times (wellllll......only when they work out - dah).

This week I believe I will be encountering both "the spur of the moment" (today) and the "planned" (hopefully on Monday). Anyway, different places for different people.
