Planning ahead
Currently unavailable to post from home. Weird not being connected. When I house sit I am without and it does not bother me so much. But at home it is a strange feeling. At least I will be saving money for the time being. No buying books on amazon right now. Is it crazy to plan for something that may not ever happen? Or at least will not happen until the very, and I mean very, distant future? If you plan ahead when the time comes you can enjoy it more. Live in the moment more. There is less to worry about. Less to prepare for as the event gets closer. Although when there is not concrete evidence it will ever happen spending money is more like spending money on a dream that will never be. Spending money causes many an issue. I am very good at the here and now with buying things for myself. A little there, a little here. What can it hurt? But when it is for something or requires actual thought and/or a significant amount of money I get indecisive. And sometimes regret not making the purchase. But of course after a few days or weeks you forget about what you did not do or get so in the end it was worth saving the money because it did not mean anything to you to begin with. Now does planning for something help it to actually come true? Sometimes. Not always. Sometimes it makes me sad. Sadness is not always portayed as a bad thing. Great things can come from it. Have I experienced them? Probably not. I have lived a very sheltered life up till now. But to feel one you have to feel the other. Otherwise you would never actually appreciate the good. You would not understand what it really meant or felt like. Till next time. Dreams are wishes. And wishes are dreams you wish to come true.

ReplyDeleteI love this . . Makes me sad, but I think this is incredibly poignant
