BJ made plans for us tomorrow to go visit someone that bugs the living daylights out of me. Not too many people get under my skin like this person, so I know that there is some sort of lesson in it for me. I sure wish we could pick and choose the people that have been placed in our lives to teach us lessons, but as my ex-husband's grandmother (whom I adored) used to say, "If wishes were fishes then we'd all have a big fish fry".

A short while ago I got a phone call from someone who needs me to be on stand-by tomorrow for one of the biggest (if not the biggest) events she's experienced in her life. The plan all along was for her sweetheart to be with her tomorrow to support her, but a possible crisis has emerged in his family and he may be needed there. I am truly honored to be the back up for this event, and so accepted it without hesitation.

I apologize for being so cagey with the details, but cannot share what this is about because it's not my story to tell.

As I talked to her today I assured her that if I'm meant to be with her, then I will. If her sweetheart is meant to be with her then he will be. Everything will happen as it's meant to happen.

I can't help but hope that I'm called upon to support her because she is one of the most important people in my life AND I wouldn't have to face that lesson I seem to be needing. But if that happened then it would mean that her sweetheart has had a crisis in his family.

So, I shall listen to the advice I gave her. Que sera sera, what will be- will be. I cannot control the future, nor take responsibility for how it plays out.

I'll just plan to be where I'm needed most tomorrow, and leave it at that.
