...while you're making other plans

It is a popular saying that life is what happens while you are making other plans. It is the daily, by the minute way that we spend our lives. While the financial economy is tight right now....your daily personal account isfull. How do you spend it....your emotional capital? Do you spend your precious time with those you care about, on your work or worrying aboutthe future, feeling guilty about the past and avoiding the intimacy you really crave?

We all make choices...some turn out well, others not. But other than deathyou can always change your mind. You might have to "eat crow" or goback on something you said. It might cost you emotionally or even financially ...but is your mistake or bad choice working for you?

So if you are unahppy with your decision....why not change it?Is it better to keep being mad at yourself or others because you mighthave made a mistake?If you are waiting on someday to call that best friend you had it out withyears ago, your family member you haven't spoken to in years or to tellyour special someone how important they really are to you.....remember life is now...someday may not ever come. An event you cannot even imagine now could rob you of your time here on this earth to live your life the way you really want to live it. Today is all you have for sure....yours are the only actions you are really in control of. You have the emotional savings account available...spend it...go ahead...it will feel so good!
