I was talking to a friend on the phone today, and mid-conversation, she just went “Oh shit.” I asked what happened and if everything was okay. She said yes, her kids’ school had just sent an email canceling classes due to the snow. We joked about it for a bit, but I could tell she was annoyed. She had plans, and now she’d have to shuffle them.
Ah! So relatable! It’s hard to shake off the idea that we are what we do or that somehow we are less if we do less. As I was reading your post, I was laughing at myself a little bit. I will rarely admit it, but I still think my plans, you know the ones in my Outlook calendar that are color-coded based on priority, should be the immutable rule of law carved into stone tablets. And the universe laughs….
I’m learning how to laugh at myself too.
I had the absolute delight to meet you at Southern Lights. Grateful to have found you here.
So glad your insight comes to my inbox everyday! Hearing your stories at Southern Lights had me realizing how much I need a regular dose of the light you share Simran!!
Thank you for this. I tend to feel disappointed by all the things I planned to do but didn't in those rare islands of time when I have the house to myself, so I had to smile at your "bachelor in New York" experience.

When you consider
all of the things
that have to occur
at the same time
in order
to make a snowflake,
it can help
to ease the tension
of an upturned schedule.
