Todays thoughts is about some of the sayings that perhaps many of us commonly use, which are at first take perhaps a bit silly but may have a good message if you do not take them so literally, such as;

We will cross that bridge when we come to it
I wonder has anyone ever crossed a bridge before the. Come or get to it, I think not so in effect its a silly saying looked at very literally.

However this saying can be a a bit of a good thing or a problem depending how you look at it, I tend to use it a lot where in essence I am saying it may well never happen so I am not going to worry about it now if it does happen I will deal with whatever it is then.

Now for me that is good, I do not like wasting time trying to find solutions for somehting that may happen and often more importantly wont happen.

Now other people and I can thing of one person of hand but one probably should not mention there wife in a blog post without letting them know so I can say I am thinking of someone else who is the oppositely me if something is a possibility its a concern and a plan of action should be considered for dealing with it, so a compromise to some middle ground is needed.

I personally think when I what if comes up you need to firstly consider how likely it is to happen, and if the likelihood of it happening is a good level then perhaps it is worth time working out what would you do if a situation arises.

lets look at an example or two

Such as what if a hurricane forms and is likely to hit our house with a high force.

We do live near the coast in an area where Hurricanes have hit before, so we do need to be prepared with basic plans have flashlights and battery operated radios, candles, food supplies etc prepared near the time if one was forecast and as such I do have basic lists of what is needed in such a situation. But again most of this needs to be prepared near to the event and not prepared well in advance.

One question I could be asked if we were ordered to evacuate where would we go, well we have some options such as the Kids in MA or friends we could go to, but that would all depend on seeign which way the storm is going to and where would be the safest place to head so again it can not all be planned fully in advance and you have to adapt with the situation.

Now here is where the compromise comes in, I like to leave a lot to deal with it when it happens , we will work it out and go with the flow, and others need some sort of planning, and thats what we have done with this particular scenario of a Hurricane or similar event, we do not have rock solid plans for what to do for any given situation but we have agreed on what are in effect conceptual plans that can be adjusted that seems to work for both of us.

So are you a We will deal with it when it happens or a Lets plan it out sort of person?

And here ends my 10 day reflection Challenge, even though some days I have struggled with a thought to add to the daily reflection shot ( and yes I know that is my own fault I added this as a goal for me) it has been good for me and I have enjoyed putting them together and i think I may even do random posts which I will call Midday Musings (since my reflection shots have all been posted around midday

My Midday Musing will not be a daily post, but when somehting comes ot mind and I feel like expressing my thoughts I will put one together

Cheers my friends for this who red all these often rambling reflection posts thanksfor your patience perseverance and support. It is truly appreciated
