I reflect upon different life chapters. Being well-prepared is very helpful. And then in the context of plans and preparation, one step at a time and changes as needed.
This is a verse from the Psalms that has inspired me for years and years.
Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 27: 14
dragonfly rests
for a moment
on the tree branch
long enough for me
to see each wing
