It always helps to plan. Only to a extent where you no longer can follow a plan, or plan can't follow you. 😜 I am aware of both the situations, have gone through and came out little scathed and little more strong.  In the world of distractions, attention seeking mind, thinking ahead is not new to any of us. In fact we think so much ahead, that it paralyzes us. Anxiety, stress and worry of problems that are yet to occur. What if market crashes, what if there is another economic slump, what if something bad happens to my loved ones, what if people laugh at my decisions. All what if's pretty much before arrival of actual problem. (In fact more often non occurring problem) I am at that junction where there was a plan, there was a milestone and there was also an obstacle. Only thing I thought I had sometime to remove obstacle.

Usually people talk, write, encourage about starting .    Maybe more people struggle with starting something than putting an end to something. Or maybe, focus is always on adding more and new than to subtract and eliminate .  Leaving a book that I don't enjoy, especially the popular and most recommended one has always been a problem for me.

I felt bad when we couldn't celebrate my nephews birthday outside in April 2020. He had just finished writing his 10th class exam. Whole of his year went pretty intense and we were looking forward for celebration, an outstation trip. Everything was put off due to pandemic.  Then came May, few more celebrations couldn't happen. June, then August, September....here we are at last calendar month of 2020. Pretty much everyone missed their birthday parties, anniversaries, or any other big life event celebrations. Some people even had to delay, put off their weddings. How difficult that would be!  In a weird way, it does not feel bad as much now that it happened with everyone else in the world.  Stay strong people. We will get through this. We will celebrate. Together.
