Gutters and leaves..@#%%*!

Well, I did not get to clean my gutters before the rain began this Friday morning.  Am I ticked off about not being able to clean my gutters?  Yeah, but that isn’t the whole story.  I’m really ticked because my plans had to change (yet again).  I don’t like spontaneity or as I like to call it – “flying by the seat of your pants.”  I like plans, schedules and to do lists.  I know all of you philosophers out there say the only thing that is consistent is change.  In reality, for me at least, it isn’t the change that bothers me so much as having downtime when I feel that I should be working.  I am not good at being still.  We all know that when we have to be still and quiet that a lot of us do not know how to enjoy the “being present in the moment.”  I will enjoy the downtime today and just accept whatever comes my way.  At least I don’t Have to climb a ladder in the rain today.
