The great Scots poet, Robert Burns said, and I paraphrase: "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."
That's where I am today. I had my Monday planned, and a friend called, and I am compelled to provide assistance. It's not a big deal, but it needs attention.
In a few minutes, I'll get started getting busy to do a favor for a friend.
In the final analysis, that's what we are put on earth for.

Queen Elizabeth is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. She enters a ward full of patients, and notices that they’re all dressed in street clothes and have no obvious sign of injury or illness. The Queen approaches a patient and greets him. The patient replies:
“My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart’s in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer.”
The Queen is confused, but smiles and moves on to greet the next patient. The patient responds:
“Some hae meat an’ canna eat, And some wad eat tha’ want it,
But we hae meat an’ we can eat, so let the Lord be thankit.”
Even more confused, and smiling even more broadly, the Queen moves on to the next patient who immediately begins to chant:
“My love is like a red, red rose that’s newly sprung in June;
My love is like the melody that’s sweetly played in tune.”
Now very confused, the Queen turns to the accompanying doctor and asks, “Is this a psychiatric ward?”
“No, Your Majesty,” replies the doctor. “This is the serious Burns unit.”
...could be worse. You could be in the hospital
Bravo!
You are right! It's not about us but others.
