I was wondering if your plan A included all your amazing insightful friends that you have (more specifically those that commented). When Plan A seemed complete (graduate and get a job) I just started another plan. It is interesting the things life thows at us.<br /><br />I just hope I'm alert enough to make the catch!<br /><br />PS was it the game you came to tue?

My thought on it is that it is hard for people to deal in hypotheticals. We feel much safer making choices of what is concretely available rather than what we wish or hope would/could be available. I know that's been the case with me and the boy thing. I never participated in the "What do you look for in a guy?" conversation because I've always felt I want too much and didn't want to be dismissed as either a starry-eyed dreamer or one who expects so much she'll never find fulfillment. However, through a crazy series of events, I was put into a situation where that person actually materialized, and so my cynical heart and mind have been shut up by the reality that maybe dealing in what one wants rather than what is readily available isn't such a bad idea.<br /><br />Anyway, good post!<br /><br />~~SRAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659696868887502585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32422320.post-38208040894873417062009-06-04T13:24:28.728-06:002009-06-04T13:24:28.728-06:00Which guy would you have married at the softball g...Which guy would you have married at the softball game?

We are more limited by OUR OWN SELF than by money, opportunities, circumstances, etc. so the first decision we must make is "what do I want?" <br /><br />Then we go get it.<br /><br />2nd: I loved the Last Lecture. That brick wall quote is something that inspired me.<br /><br />3rd: If I had to marry one guy in that picture, I'd marry the middle one.

I think sometimes I assume plan A isn't available but in reality I just need to work harder to make it a reality. I always wanted to be a writer, and it's not like I've been turned down by publishing companies, it's that I haven't even tried.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395964348284894463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32422320.post-23082189376286035942009-06-04T09:28:23.831-06:002009-06-04T09:28:23.831-06:00Winnie and I used to do this with our brothers.
