I’m an ardent planner. I can tell you what I’m doing on many weekends for the rest of the year.

Softball games and tournaments, football games, other commitments — I like knowing exactly where I’m going to be on a given day.

However, things don’t always go according to plan. Sometimes events get delayed or postponed. At other times, there are multiple things happening at once, and I wish I could be at both.

There is nothing wrong with planning, but there is a lesson to be learned within that. I love being in control of my schedule and knowing what’s coming around the corner. At the same time, you have to be willing to roll with the punches at times.

Now that the hustle of spring sports has concluded and I enter into one of my calmer seasons (the summer), I am hoping to make time for those people that I don’t see as much during other times of the year.

I’ll be sure to put it in my calendar.
