November 7, 2011

First off, I was talking to my uber planner of a sister, Jack-Attack. She was telling me how much she loves, loves, loves planning (That is almost a direct quote, she gets some sort of thrill out of filling out a calendar.) Anyway, I told her I didn't like making plans. The biggest reason I don't like to commit to things is, what if I don't feel well when that event is happening. Then, I've planned it and feel obligated to go, because I always go and do what I say I am going to do.

Here was her response:
I have/had a problem with that too. I talked to my mentor about it a long time ago...that is when I came up with the "best day ever" strategy "Today is the best day ever. I only have one November 7th 2011. How can I spend it to remember it?" You really only get the one day, so you have to live it up. Just think about what you will remember in 5-10 years. The fun thing that you could do with friends, or staying home.

After a bit of reflection, I told Tim about what she said. Here is his response: Converse: "Today is the worst day ever. Thank God there is only one Nov 7, 2011. How can I forget it the quickest?" :p


This made me laugh, I mean, how true you will only have one November 7, 2011, will it be the best day ever, or the worst day ever?
