Flexibility

The original plan this morning was to wake up at 3:30a.m. get on the bus and go to Oslob. It’s a travel destination and known for being able to dive with whale sharks. After hitting the snooze button twice and the time had slipped to 4:30a.m. plus Sarah was still sleeping and didn’t jump up with any enthusiasm, I woke up about 30 minutes ago.

So we’ve changed our plans and will visit Santa Nino and Magellan’s Cross. Plus Plaza de Independencia and a couple other places close by. Hopefully, tomorrow is a holiday, we can get to Oslob then and experience that adventure together. If I’m not mistaken, her flight doesn’t leave until late night on Saturday so there’s the possibility of travelling to Oslob on Saturday also.

The point is nothing worked according to our best laid plans this morning and yet the world continues to turn.

Today, Thursday, October 31, 2019, I am grateful that:

Abby was able to visit yesterday. I actually missed seeing her so I’m glad she and I could hang for a bit.

Abby got a chance to meet Sarah. For a second, I’d thought about Abby becoming insecure about Sarah staying at the apartment for a couple of days but she actually was accepting of the idea.

I remained focused on the day. Abby has a benefactor that’ll visit here in December. I’ve known of him and their arrangement since she and I met. It’s interesting how I actually don’t want the spend any time with him and started projecting. Then the reality hit that December is not October 30 and I was able to stay in the day and not project about future events. I was able to host Sarah, enjoy my time with Abby, and enjoy the remainder of my day.

Stay Flexible. Be Impactful!
