I am a person who likes control. I like to have a plan and to know where I am going and what I am doing. I did not used to be this way at all; I was a free spirit that just wanted to let things happen, experience life. Since growing up a bit I have become more of the control freak that I am today. One thing I have come to realize is, we can’t plan everything. Sometimes, we can’t plan anything and being versatile is essential in staying sane.

For day four I am going to practice the art of rolling with the punches. I am not going to stress if I don’t get to finish things I have planned today, I am going to learn to just relax and let the day happen. For example, this morning, I woke up as a ginger and put “dark blonde” dye in my hair. It is now nearly black. That definitely happened, and….it’s okay. I’m down with it and letting it chill this color awhile and seeing how things go. This is something I plan to do more in life, especially during these crazy times of transition. Rolling with the punches, even if it hurts a little at first, is not nearly as painful as it sounds.
