Life is a Choice


Does your mind sometimes just jump from one thing to the other,
full of scattered thoughts?
My mind is doing that very thing this week.
There are so many different thoughts just jumping around there.
Saturday I visited my 91 year old aunt, who is getting ready to move
closer to her grand-daughter.  Our conversation was sort of the way
my mind has been, but the one thing we talked about was how the only
certainty in life is that we are born and we die.
This week I have thought a lot about what is in between being born
and dieing?  It is called LIVING.
Do we just sail away or do we dig into the dirt?
Are we fully living or are we just letting be what will be?
Are we just living out what has already been predestined for us,
or are we making choices for the way we want to live?
Then I came across this quote in two different places
and it just made me smile, as it fit so well with the way my mind was thinking.
"Living is like licking honey off a thorn." by Louis Adamik
I do BELIEVE we have choices in the way we live;so today I am choosing to laugh, listen to music, and surround myself with beauty.  What are you choosing today?
