Nothing is sadder than having to postpone something that you’ve been looking forward to.  Especially when it’s a business meeting with a new prospect.

Though it’s far better than a cancellation.  A cancellation is so final.  A postponement leaves hope.  Hope connotes opportunity and chance.  I’d rather not leave things to chance.  But, how can we control things that are beyond our control?

Just as we can’t worry about things that are out of control, neither can we control them.  Is there anything that we can do with things that are out of our control?  Surely there must be something?  But worry isn’t one of them.

So… postponed ’til another day.  I’m glad it wasn’t tomorrow for tomorrow never comes.

But postponements can be reschedules.  And hope will spring eternal.

Never lose the faith.

• FOTD AL Red Blue Theme Vampira and Swank The muse hit early this morning and I wanted to be wild and crazy in response to the Primary Theme week at AL -- use red, blue, yellow. Why not! I could always wear sunglasses and hide out. But I figured I could tweak it as I went along, if......
• Movie Review: New in Town starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. For a great feel good movie minus the gratuitous bathroom and bodily fluid scenes you should go see New in Town starring Renee Zellweger. The story is a hoot with characters appearing at first look to be campy. Some parts are easily figured out and others may bowl you over......

Mac and I both craved hamburgers, so we decided to let ourselves have them because: It was his 34th birthday. It was our monthly Get Fit Slowly "business meeting".
