“In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn, in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.”
What are some of the unexpected things that have happened to you?
I thought that this quote from a chess master was really interesting. Chess is a direct face-off between two sides as each player tries to create and enact a strategy. But of course not everything goes as planned. It becomes a delicate dance between the two sides as both individuals try to dominate and follow through with their own strategy. But it is interesting to think that a change of plan can actually be a great thing. It may not be the what was initially planned, but the unexpected may be wonderful as well.
My husband and I sometimes have differing opinions on what we may want to do and how we want to do it. But we will compromise and end up choosing an activity that ends up being fun for everyone. Yesterday was a crazy day in which we both played tug-of-war on how we wanted to end the weekend. Although I was exhausted and just wanted to get everyone home, we ended up having a lovely and very messy family dinner at Din Tai Fung (soup dumplings always work!)
So it’s ok if plans change, go with it and create something beautiful.
Have a lovely week!
I love the all black photos! Something about them are so striking. You and your hubby always reach an amicable accord. That is so important in a relationship. Good for you!

LOVE the way you’ve compared differing opinions to a game of Chess – so true! Also pertinent: this editorial is beyond brilliant!

This is truly awesome editorial. I love it.
Since having kids, I feel like plans change constantly. I think I am less uptight than I used to be which is probably better for all.
That editorial is so imaginative!
