Don’t Overthink It

I’m in the middle of planning a birthday picnic two weeks from now. There’s a few details that concern me.

First, there’s finding a spot for a big party. How early do I need to set up shop in order to guarantee we get space?

I laughed when I read his reply.

He’s right.

This isn’t that deep.

I’ll prepare the best I can, and trust that everything will work out. It usually always does.
