Just as we need to plan our work, we can also plan our non-work.  Today is the first day of August and counting this weekend, we have 22 left this year.

I know that in the next few weekends, I have 3 events planned including a 2nd birthday party for Emma next weekend, a neighborhood carnival tomorrow, and a weekend retreat next month.  There are also at least 3 other birthdays in our family coming up along with a baby coming in the next few weeks, and a wedding before the year is up.  Toss in a couple of holiday gatherings and, well, I’m sure many of you have busy schedules too.

We have a choice.

We can live day by day by day without a plan of any kind, or a tightly scheduled schedule, but I prefer something in between.  How about you?
