No Plans

What if there were no long term plans? Nothing to save money for, nothing to wait for, nothing to project for? Only the short term, whatever that means to you, and nothing beyond. How would you live? With no destination and only the journey? Would you wait to tell that someone you haven't seen in a long time how you feel? Would you hold back? Would you work? Would you cry? Where would you be? What would you do? How would you feel?

A lot of owning a small business is consumed around planning for the future, placing orders far in advance of their receipt. It's my least favorite part of my job. I've never been a planner. I just don't like to make plans because I know there is a real possibility that something more exciting could creep into my periphery and divert me from the planned destination. I'm a wanderer.
