I know I've had too much coffee when I got my 2nd planner from Starbucks in three weeks time.
To be able to get a planner, I had to pay for 17 drinks worth an average of 150 bucks each. 17x5x2. You do the math. The thing is my mom went ballistic. Though at my lame defense I am sure I didn't drink some, the point is I consumed the majority and paid all of it. There goes my attempt at saving and dieting before my Christmas beach break.
That first opportunity came when I gave a planner to a dear friend. On that day, she was suffering from a massive heartbreak. Out of the blue, her heart was crushed to pieces, pain I couldn't imagine. Since I'm not trained to cushion heartaches and have enough words of advise to share, I gave her the planner instead. Good thing I got the color that she liked. If there's a sane advise that I will stand by on, it's to find ways to move on and the planner is just a key to keep her right on track. I had an officemate who joined lots of activities after her breakup. She did yoga, pole dancing, spa nights, surfing lessons in La Union on the weekends, attended tons of parties and enrolled in a study program every Saturday. She squeezed in dinners with friends, old and new. That's what I wanted my friend to do, to preoccupy herself. And with the planner, she should be encouraged to fill in those blank dates.
The 2nd planner I gave to my sister. Unlike me, she's a planner person. She uses it for her meetings with clients and to schedule her next drinking session with friends. Her previous planners looked like a beaten cardboard by the end of the year. I know that she will maximize the planner to good use. But just as fate designed, she had just resigned from her work and is currently enjoying the job hunting scene casually. May the planner bring her luck and lots of offers to choose from
Too much coffee brought two planners for two ladies who would be facing too many positive opportunities. I think this also justified all those Starbucks trips for caffeine. I say always look forward to the greater things in life to come.
May the planners bring them purpose and luck on darker days.
