It's kind of funny how things don't work out sometimes. You make all these plans and just expect things to fall in to place. You research, you Google, you share ideas with friends, you write your to-do's on a calendar and expect that when the day comes, you will be doing that one thing that you planned for and tomorrow, something else.
Well, yesterday didn't quite work out the way I had hoped for my 40 day volunteer plan. I ended up with two sick kids home from school and had to cancel my volunteer plans for the day. I said to myself, this is good. It's one of those learning lessons that teaches you how to be flexible. You see, I love to plan. When I'm not busy doing something, I like to add more things to my planner. When things don't work out, I panic, chill out and then get to work...sometimes, I add procrastination in between the chilling out and get to work phase.
Whenever I procrastinate, I web search and respond to e-mails super quick. I can honestly say procrastination is a good thing because when I checked my e-mails, I found one from my friend, Anna. She e-mailed me about Sports Chalet's Help for Haiti program; between now and Jan. 31st, Sports Chalet is accepting gently used shoes to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. I was so excited that I could work on this volunteer opportunity with sick kids in tow. I quickly got the kids involved in a game of Shoe Hunt. Guess who won!
