Someday Is Not A Day of the Week

Every night I have the privilege of reading a book to my daughter. Last week she came home with a book, as she does everyday, called Someday is not a day of the week. I’m sure you know what the book is about without even have reading it. I thought what a great book for young and old. How often have you said, I’ll do it tomorrow, or I’ll get to it next week or someday I’ll get to that and that day never comes.

One of my favorite quotes is: If you fail to plan, plan to fail. Planning is so very important in doing things that need to be done, that if you don’t plan, chances are you will fail. We are able to make it to work because we make plans to be there. We are able to make the movies because we make plans to be there. We make it to that dinner party because we make plans to be there. We make plans by getting things ready and in order for us to be present.

I have found myself in situations of where I was supposed to be somewhere at a particular time, but I didn’t make any plans to help myself get there. I had no idea of what I was wearing, I didn’t have directions or I never set my alarm clock. Each time, I was absent because I failed to plan.

I work on this everyday or every other day. Some times I fall off the wagon, but my goal is to plan better so that my life runs more smoothly. I’m where I’m supposed to be at the right time. Life is short, don’t waste it because you forgot to plan.

Someday is a reminder that we cannot let being busy take away from what’s important in life. Plan and just do it!
