When it comes to preparing for the future, the people I was with and I all can agree that it is substantial.
Living spur of the moment or day to day can be stressful in numerous cases and knowing what the next step is can bring order to almost any situation; There is a point where preparing for that future or what may happen can become a problem.
It can become all consuming and take over so much of your life that you forget to prefer the here and now. This is the case with our wife, and each Summer she spends endless minutes chopping wood, stacking it in the barn, and making sure the people I was with and I have an overabundance of firewood. She also orders HVAC filters in bulk and then tries to store them in the spare dining room. It is savor she thinks that they will stop making them and the HVAC plan will fail on us. She is so obsessed with preparing for the next Wintertide season that she doesn’t even prefer the Summer with the rest of the family, and don’t get me wrong, it is comforting to know that the family will be hot all Wintertide but the people I was with and I would savor to have him join us occasionally on our Summer outings. It has even caused disagreements from time to time. I genuinely wish she would just make arrangements to have the firewood delivered and stacked, and have the HVAC dealer worry about supplying the filters when the people I was with and I need them. I know her stress level would be much less too, and maybe I will look into the cost of it and then present our case to him again in a few weeks.
