LOL! Wait….was there supposed to be a plan?
Love that Tolkien quote, “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.” Precisely. The plan is simply to not get eaten by a dragon. So far I’m winning. 🙂

We’ve had a rough go of it this year but hey, we are still putting one foot (albeit broken) in front of the other, so that’s something! Always reading, always writing, always learning. 🙂

Rolling with the punches, following your hunches, and learning in bunches. Sounds like a plan to me, Kim! ;>)

Sometimes I wish we could peek at God’s master plan for our lives. Great quotes…should the Burns quote read: “of mice and men”?

Yes! Typo! Or Freudian slip? Thanks for catching it!

Planning around dragons is sound advice.

What an interesting take on “where are you”. I like to be able to be where I am as opposed to “where should I be”. Planning could be over-rated if you never meet your goal.

I really liked this one: “When things don’t go according to plan, plan according to how things go.” Words to live by!
