Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda? Don't Kid Yourself.

If you needed further proof that “The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley” (Burns), or “Man proposes, but God disposes” (Thomas a Kempis), consider the following story.

I have a friend who shares my love of exploring parks. Unfortunately, she likes parks that are closer to her, and I, with my horrible experiences with St. Louis traffic, would rather not go there every time.

So the other day, I chose a park near me: 15-minute drive, NO highway time, almost no traffic.

And got rear-ended while I was sitting at the stop sign waiting to leave the park.

So the next time you say, “I should have planned it better…”

 

Forget it. You never had a chance.
