Too Far Ahead

Sometimes I get ideas in my head and write several blogs ahead. This is great when the creative juices are flowing because you can get some thoughts down and have some idea which direction you are going for the next few days. One of the bad things about writing ahead is that it may be a week later and you are writing in first person about an event that does not make sense in that context.

I like to publish what I write in chronological order. It seems to be orderly and keeping to a routine is what the mature adult realizes is the best way to organize and manage the every day events. I guess that sometimes, it is best to shake things up and not be as orderly and predictable. I think that becomes harder to do as the routines become more ingrained. Maturity has its drawbacks.

Even with the drawbacks, I much prefer being able to find my shoes and wallet any time I want to. Knowing where my keys are and not being locked out of a hotel room are one of the added benefits of ordering your life. So I have become predictable, it is not the end of the world. It just means that most of the time I can be anticipated. My kids can pretty much anticipate what I am going to say and do depending on the situation. It is not fool proof as they end up being grounded or given extra chores every so often. As long as you can throw a curve every one in a while, you are still in the game.
