Plans will change

 Plans will change


Being a routine oriented person does have its fallbacks. You create a fail-proof routine that will help you accomplish your goals. You map out every single hour or everyday and you are excited to begin each day. Then BOOM. Something pops up that completely reroutes your entire day. What do you do now?


There are two options in this scenario. There is the option of being pissed off for the remainder of the day and completely falling off from what you planned on doing. Or, you can focus all of your time on the more urgent task at hand, handle it, and get back on course.


Things like this happen every single day. Not everything is going to go as planned, but you must plan for the unplanned. The more flexible to changes you are, the better you will follow your routine in the long run. It is much easier to get back on the road if you treat the road bump as the bump that it is, rather than a gorge you cannot cross. 


Too many times I have let one small change of plans derail my day, my weekend, or my entire month. Don’t let these changes to your routine ruin the path you have mapped out for yourself. Focus on taking care of the detour, and getting back on track as soon as you can. After all, delayed action is much better than inaction.

untitled 729

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
