It was another sunny day. A breeze was present in the morning and just past noon, this turned into a major wind. I drove up to the grocery store to get a handful of things that had been depleted in the kitchen. Particularly in the winter, I tend to get items before totally running out at home. The weather can be unpredictable and impede transportation to the store, so having something in the pantry ready for the kitchen makes sense. I guess it goes back to the Girl Guide motto of my youth, "Be Prepared". <smile>
That motto fits many aspects of life. I prepare for travel by planning what each day may hold, leaving room for other activities that come along once I get there. I plan a shopping trip in terms of the order in which I visit stores and how I traverse the stores to keep the back and forthing to a minimum. There are the weekend lists that actually become lists for the following week. I try to somewhat flexible with the preparations to take advantage of great weather for walking or time with friends that I encounter while out. I still miss things that have hard deadlines, which makes things take a bit longer than they might have, but perfection just doesn't exist. Errors occur. Life still moves forward.
Maybe -- on reflection -- all the prepping and planning is just me trying to feel in control of things that aren't easily controlled. Hmmm. That thought brought a different look to the selection today. It is upbeat and discusses power and control in a more positive way than other song lyrics. The link leads to a lyric video, which will make sense <smile>. Keep safe. Enjoy!
