Yep, my ole life plan. I get kidded about it periodically, being so goal oriented, detailed, etc. I do believe in goals and thinking on out there in time ya know, Polvie. I've written on it a lot here. I recall a story of about 30 years ago when a girl took a boy home from college to meet her parents. They were both just young kids. The parents asked the typical questions parents do when meeting a boy for the first time their daughter is seriously dating. The parents were taken back by this young kid stating numerous significant events and goals planned in his life, in great detail, including family, business, you name it, some even going out in time for when the boy was to be 40 and 50 years old. They later told their daughter they had never meet anyone like him compared to all the other boys she'd brought home before. Not sure if that was good or bad necessarily as they probably thought he was blowing hot air, or nuts. Anyway, that couple later got married, exactly when the boy had forecasted, and they sought out in life together both accomplishing goals per their life plans. Amazing how so many goals can be accomplished if you set your mind to it and work hard, never giving up, and having fun along the way. Many years later that boy and girl were still together. They had accomplished many of the things that boy had told her parents they would achieve all those years before. That boy sat at the bed side of the girl's Mom when she died one night. No other family was there except him and the girl. Her Mom looked at the boy, now a man, held his hand, and said she still remembered like it was yesterday the night they first met him 27 years ago, the things he said they would do, and how the dreams about life he talked to them about then so impacted the girl's parents. She recalled many of the things discussed, all those years later. She never forgot. That was my mother-in-law. And I'll never forget her, either. RR
