September 1st! All I can think of is how Christmas is now around the corner. I'm sick aren't I? LOL!! Okay ... I'm really laughing... hard!
No but seriously... I survived the first week of Kindergarten, as did Calley... Halloween decorations are already going up in the stores... a-eesh! see I told you ... Christmas is around the corner!
Here... listen. As I said Halloween is around the corner... and I'm serious, in a blink of an eye it will be here... what will seem like maybe a couple of weeks of school, will actually be eight and a half. First there's Halloween to get things going, then Christmas decorations will start showing up every where, then Thanksgiving whizzes by and before you know it ... a shopping we will go and Christmas will have arrived. {and} 14 weeks will have gone by!
{and] there you have it.

~ Life Is All About How You Handle Plan B...
Plan A is always my first choice.
You know, the one where everything works out to be "happily ever after."
But more often than not, I find myself dealing with the
upside-down. inside-out version where nothing goes as it should.
It's at the point the real test of my character comes in...
Do I sink or do I swim? Do I wallow in self-pity and play the victim or
simply shift gears and make the best of the situation?
The choice is mine. After all... life is all about how you handle the plan B.

I must say that it has taken me a very, very long time to realize that it is all my choice. Yes my choice. I choose the latter... simply shift gears.

I too am working on embracing plan B as it were. Or in my case more like Plan E or F at this point. I have in the past focused too much on plans that were just not going to happen anymore. Grieving over them and then just dwelling on their absence from my life. I have since moved beyond that but it can be easy to see where my faults have put me in situations I could have avoided but must now deal with.
There are things in life that remind me of where I am not daily and it can be hard to just focus on today and the here and now. Overall, I am much happier by accepting I am where I am, and being content with that!

Glad you guys survived the first week of Kindergarten!! We did as well. :) I think the Halloween stuff has been in the stores for a while, here! They bring stuff out so early nowadays! I haven't even begun to think about Christmas, but you're right. . . it will be here before we know it!
Carla,
Too fun!!! I can't wait for CHRISTMAS! :)
I've learned to embrace Plan B. Overall, I'm much happier this way.
Blessings.
It does come fast (always), but I'm one of those sick people who start looking for gifts the day after Christmas, so for me, I don't mind how fast it gets here. I love Christmas!
I love it- because as much as we hate to admit it- life does not usually go as we plan it. I beleive it is because I am still learning... but at least I am having fun!
Honestly I may be operating in Plan C or D by now, but you just have to roll with it. I am already planning gifts etc. for Christmas.
