Life Plan

There is an old Yiddish proverb that says, "We make plans, and God laughs." Or, as in the case of the latest comic from The Awkward Yeti, He sends rain and lightning to show how ephemeral your plans can be. I've seen this happen twice today. One of my daughters' job hours were cut to below the pay-the-rent level, while another daughter's summer internship requires her to be in place before her finals are over. You can make plans, and you should, but you also have to be flexible about dealing with changing circumstances you will no doubt encounter.
