Today I was involved in working out plans for some events of the next few weeks. I’m amazed, with myself, but also with others. We have a tendency in this day and age of programs and seminars and workshops and concerts and events of deciding at the last minute.
Maybe it’s just that I’m getting older. Or I’m not sure what my state of health or mind will be in a few hours let alone a few days, months or years. I still plan and commit as much as I can. At the same time, I’m having to learn that at some point I will disappoint someone. That is not easy, nor does it suit my upbringing, nor am I comfortable with a life of care-lessness. But choices are just that. And by merely making a choice someone or something is disappointed.
All that to say that I’m trying to find a way to get some retreat time in the next week or so. So, I’m going through my appointments and seeing what can be moved, postponed or missed. Meet me back here next week and you’ll know if it worked!
