Life has a great way of taking us on unexpected journeys. This past week has been a great example. I had the joy and privaledge of going and visiting a dear dear friend and my Aunt this last week. The time was short but so rich. Then upon my return from them I was dumping dirty laundry and packing new laundry and heading out for a weekend retreat with 18 middle schoolers. These kids were amazing! I had such a great time.
But it was during this unscheduled journey that I realized I have no contingency plan for when things take a sudden turn. I think many of us are like that. We do really well when we are operating in our controlled environment. When we know just how to travel to work to avoid temptation (DD drive thru) and we know just what will try to jump out at us from the grocery store. But what happens when we find ourselves traveling , away from our routine, and feeling like a renegade.
I found that I struggle. So tday was a back on track day. And it felt Good. So the moral is allow those little journeys but be prepared to come back face your laundry and get back on schedule.
