What's your plan?

This morning, I'm thinking there is great risk of getting into a napping mode like our darling Silly in the picture.

But, there are some things on the edges of the picture that we cannot see. Darling Silly isn't just stupidly napping without a care in the world.

He's at the top of stairs approaching a fine deck and view of the country. He's in a good defensive position and down out of the breeze. The sun can just warm him while he watches his domain.

So, do you have your plan? Do you nap in a good defensive position? Do you just let things happen for you?

Plans are difficult to follow through when you are making them on the context of all the other businesses and people you have to work with. There are other people you live with whose needs and plans affect your plans. Trying to keep a many faceted plan that accommodates everyone involved is not impossible. Trying to make a plan that takes care of EVERYTHING involved is not a reasonable goal.

It has long been my opinion that plans are made so you have something to change! My opinion expands to the point that I think a plan should be very flexible and not written in stone. Some items need to be tweaked and even cut. Other things I missed must be added and accounted for.

Unless I have a plan, I cannot measure and be real sure anything happened either for me or to me. If it's happening to me and I have a plan, I can make every effort to make some readjustments and damage control. The things that are damaging me can't be kept in the plan because of sentimental attachments.

If something is happening for me, I must make every effort to get the most out of the benefits.

I have a picture of where I want to be next. Some days the picture seems a little blurred, on other days the depth of field is amazing and I can "see forever". But, it's not a day plan, it's a years plan. I only follow the planned path a day at a time.

There's method in my madness for making Silly's photo look like a puzzle piece. Silly, his deck and his entire domain are a small piece of the puzzle of my plan.

What's your plan?
