"A Happy Man.."

“A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future.”
—Albert Einstein
For anyone who doesn't know me well, I'll let you know that I am a planner. I like to have everything planned out. I like to know where I am going, how I am going to get there, and what I am going to do until I get there. I worry about the future all the time!I am constantly thinking of it, to the point that I never really enjoy the now. I have come to realize that plans don't always go according to plan. I've always known this, but since graduating this lesson has been ever so prominent in my life. Things have not gone according to plan, but I like to think that things have turned out better than I could have planned for. I had planned to find a job here in Ridgecrest, I had planned to meet a very cute boy, I had planned to get accepted to BYU for fall semester, and I had planned to return home at the end of April. I have not found a job, but I have spent a lot of time with Emily and Gavin and I have had many adventures that would not have been possible with a job. I had planned to meet a very cute boy, but instead I have met A LOT of cute boys, and I have made many friends! I have been accepted to BYU for summer semester and I will have the opportunity to participate in the World's Largest Water Fight on Campus! Leaving early will mean that I can drink diet Coke again! I am really grateful that everything hasn't gone according to plan because if they had my life would be very predictable and rather dull and boring. Not knowing what is coming next is certainly keeping me guessing and on my toes! So for now I am abandoning my instinct to plan, and I'm just going with whatever comes!
“I never worry about the future. It comes soon enough.”
