Tag: death and taxes

My entire plan for last weekend revolved around two things. The first was to attend a memorial service for a friend that I used to be very close to. I couldn’t imagine not being there to support him and pay tribute to his family. The second part of my weekend was set aside for starting, finishing and filing my taxes.

Death and taxes – that was what was certain about my weekend.

Then I got a message that changed my plans. I packed a bag, got in the car, and drove out of town to visit a sick family member in the hospital. I stayed the weekend, driving back home on Monday morning in time for a business meeting.

Nothing is certain to happen exactly the way we think it will. The more open we are to possibilities, the more flexibility we have to react to changing circumstances.
