Life is full of decisions. Sometimes we make great ones and looking back some were bad. Right from the womb are we thinking let me back into my comfort zone or did we haul out screaming here I come universe? Decisions.
Good or bad they shape our lives –do our decision alter our destiny? Crap happens along the road of life. People disappoint, die, get injured, have bad luck but what we decide to do about these events really is huge. It is the stuff I have no control over that really messes up gig. Becoming disabled would be one of those.
Decisions. Maybe it was the house I did not buy waiting for a better deal, the car that turned out to be lemon, if I had turned left and not right? Decisions.
Some of us might decided to go out and eat dinner while other might choose to use the money to by groceries. Do I buy a new book to read or do I choose from the offerings at the local thrift store? Can I wait till that new (fill in the blank) goes on sale, do I really need it? Decisions.
To me it is obvious – circumstances do not always allow a decision. So I am not saying that everything that happens is a result of personal decisions made. But really, if you decided to do something and one the consequences is you do not get to do or have something else – why complain about it? I do – not really sure why as logically it makes no sense to. Decisions.
We all make decisions. Good or bad we make them. I have mad many bad ones and once in awhile I make a good one. Looking back the if only I had . … oh well, here I am universe and what an adventure I am having!
I try to make as few decisions as possible 😉
Sounds good in theory – but another decision if I were to decide whether or not to make one.
Not to decide is to decide, but I’m with Karen.
I agree. Just wonder how I would go about not deciding?
when i was younger i put off thinking about things like retirement accounts and life insurance… and now i wish that was different. i never signed up for disability insurance – short or long- through any of my employers….bad decisions…. i think many people go through years thinking that something won’t happen to them… well, it does… in many situations…
oh well 🙂 here we are, still making decisions… or not… and as webster said.. not to decide is to decide…
My day starts with deciding if I am gonna get out of bed LOL! Yah I have made some bad decisions along the way. Guess I have to hold onto the good ones.
I really miss not having someone to run things past — sounding board style. Not to tell me what to do as I’d likely rebelliously chafe. But I get really exhausted making every single decision about managing my household, insurances, medical decisions, financial decisions, etc on my own. Course the upside is that I eat and do whatever I want without negotiations. 🙂
Now that upside sounds like a positive benefit but having decide all the rest without other input would be overload. I forget sometimes how lucky I am to have someone to share with.
In 04 when my brain was out to lunch KRP had to make all the decisions. The responsibility was not what got to her it was the day in and day out grind of not having someone to banter back and forth with.
I have conversed with some interesting folks via the internet and I must say you are one of those that have gained my respect in how you manage and your ability to find humor in most any situation.
I am not sure how I would handle all the daily stuff and the MS crap without my partner’s support.
