Sorry but I have been remiss in my blogging of late. First I had a problem with a generator at work. It didn't want to work. Still working on that. Ha!! Then yesterday I had to go for my colonoscopy. Piece of cake. I've had a few cuz my dad had colon cancer a number of years back. What crappy genes I have. Cancer and heart disease. My thought on this is that if you live long enough you 're gonna get something to die of.
I am kind of scatter brained right now. Must be the drugs from the colonoscopy! Again HA!! Where was I? Choices. We all have the right to choose. To choose who we marry. To choose what we eat. To choose how to live our life. To choose to have a gun or not. Life is nothing but decisions or choices, however how you want to put it. Either the glass is half full or half empty. Is it going to be one of THOSE days or is it a day that didn't start out like I had imagined but I'm sure it is going to get better. Things don't happen in threes. Oh I've had two bad things happen to me today, I only have to get through one more. Come on, you can at least choose to have good things happen to you. Why do you want to wait for the third bad thing? Make your choice. Choose to smile. Choose to be happy. Pass it around!

So, is this about being REMISS about blogging (which I totally am) or is it about choices. Choices are funny things, particularly if you are someone who is outward directed vs inward. Outward directed people, with whom I unfortunately relate far too much, are making choices because of what others think...and then when they catch themselves, choices require way more energy and angst. I am believing even more lately that Michael J. Fox, who clearly echoes the advice of my mother, (Fox having Parkinsons and my mother having had ALS -- both neurological diseases of the worst kind) "happiness is a choice." And it's one you can make at any age, no matter what your maturity. The others....not so much. Parenting, marriage, owning guns, sometimes those rights are better off delayed. BTW, what's your stance on tort reform?
ReplyDeleteTorte reform? You aren't going to outlaw the ones with ganache? I love ganache! I love torte!
ReplyDeleteMichael- I got my bone last night and am quite pleased. I took the one with the green wings and polka dot nose. I choose to love it even though anything vaguely biological makes me a little squeamish.
Thanks!
You're welcome SMC. I don't know about torte reform. Not something that I ponder. I ponder things like why is there air? I guess I am an inward person. I do things cuz I want to do them not because others want me to. I guess some would call that selfish.
