tell me more..

Well this is how another day passed by.. when I think back to yesterday I felt like so many things were not according to plan, that is my plan for the day.

I had planned for a bbq, but then it rained
I had planned for so and so to come, but then other guests came
I had planned to help my mom, but time was against me
I planned to do some activities, but then an unexpected phone call arrives..

The phone call was not even for me (mom's friend), just someone who wanted a bystander's opinion. At first I was reluctant to answer it, to even talk to some stranger, as the day had already gone not according to plan. I was annoyed but I had to take it. At first I wondered why the aunty asked so many questions about my experience, but then to my surprise I talked to her for an hour. A stranger told me so many things that she observed about my mother's smile and her sincerity when chatting with people. I had already taken the half the day for granted, just hoping that one of my plan succeeds but then I remembered there is only one plan that will work.

When someone tells me things I have never heard of, read of, or observed, I just wish they could tell me more. If only there was time for people to listen and a time for people to stay, planning would be easier. The world just seems to rush as everyone has their own plans, their own things to do..
