Stop and smell the orchids

I've already told Joice from Shanghai, Tiffany from Shandong, and Polly from Hebi that I want to follow them home.  I've not been anywhere in China... No time to be shy!  I've only got 350 some days left in Hong Kong.

Then Dorothy and I started talking about taking a trip for our four-day weekend at the end of September. That turned into, "Tiffany?  Natalie?"  So there's a chance the four of us will be going on a trip together.  I then told Dorothy we should start planning other trips because I have only 350 some days left in Hong Kong...

Yep, I'm counting down my days.   Not because I hate it here, but I want to do a lot of things before I leave and I want to make sure I fit everything in.

It is so typical of me to look at the end and work backwards.  It's generally a good thing to make plans, but for me, it's making plans on steroids.  Instead of just letting things happen sometimes.  I become so fixated on getting to the end result I don't enjoy the journey.

There is no way I can predict what will happen in Hong Kong these next 11 months.  And trying to control things will not make life easier.  I should just give up now.  I know God has a plan for me.  And it is a daily struggle to get out of His way!
