Well this week was pretty much a no-brainer. There was a snow storm. It "ruined" my plans. Or did it?
This past Thursday I was supposed to be heading to LA until Tuesday for a little break with my special someone (shout-out). Wednesday morning the snow hit... hard. Obviously there were no flights going to the sunny land. No more Disneyland, no 3rd St. Promenade, no Santa Monica Pier, no Grove, and most importantly, no Coffee Bean (x 15-20 depending on how many we drove by on any given day).
So here we are, Wednesday night, our flight the next morning is a no-go. Despite all the fun we had on Wednesday itself, this was the ultimate bummer. We had planned this for a while and we were extremely excited for all of the above. And as we sat on her parent's couch sulking in the recent news we decided that this wasn't the right mode of action.
The snow was something completely out of our hands and there was nothing we could do about it. All we could do was decide how we would react to it. At that moment we set our minds on having a good time this weekend despite our trip being canceled/postponed. We had a great time Thursday, Friday and Shabbos and there is still Sunday ahead of us as well.
"Man plans, G-d laughs." Definitely the easiest, most simple lesson from this weekend. All we can do as humans is choose how we will respond, how we react to the situation. There is ultimately a plan in motion and nothing we do can possibly go against that plan. Go with the flow and ride the current where it's going. In the end, we had a great weekend regardless of being stuck on the East Coast and we are planning on going to LA next weekend.
