Here's what I think about it....

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

I've been thinking about the number of decisions we each make everyday.

To get up or not, to floss or not, to watch the news of the happenings in the world while we slept or not, greet the people and animals with whom we live or not, oatmeal or eggs....and on and on, and this is just in the first few seconds of the day.

All day, it never ends. Decisions, decisions. And the next day it all begins again.

Each decision infused with the power to change or direct lives, ours and others'.

Multiplied out, let's say six decisions in the first minute of the day, 60 minutes times 24 hours times 365 days...

Well that's just mind boggling, even with my limited math skills that is a mighty lot of decisions.
Somewhere over thirty one hundred thousand decisions a year

No wonder I get tired. You too? The only escape from decision-making is sleeping...after making the decision to nap.

And that's what I think about it.

Welcome

The most important thing about me that you might want to know is that I am a Christian. Unapologetically. You'll not have to wonder when you read from day to day or occasionally what world view I'm coming from.

That said I have lived in four states and now make my home in Middle America, in tornado alley...without a basement...thus my world view.

Lucky me to have traveled to eleven foreign countries and shame on me for not knowing any other language well enough to do more than say 'please' and 'thank you' in any of them.

I pig out on Junior Mints and am healthier now that my favorite soft drink has added vitamins to their formula.

The family? Two daughters, delights in every way and four grand daughters, ditto that. A near-perfect son-in-law (but only since no one can be really perfect) and a cat named Kat Karson, rescued from the animal shelter.

Oh yes, Jim, my good friend and husband. He's sort of retired but is still an attorney and thought it was very funny when he put a link on my blog to his favorite home-cooked recipes and then when I clicked on it it found it was empty. He is funny and wise, a reconciler and all-around good guy.

We spend a lot of time at soccer games, track meets and choral concerts.

I'm mostly retired also. I read, volunteer as a child advocate in the local court system, teach at the church and speak where ever people will gather to listen. My daughter and I lead a book discussion group and I play percussion in one of the church's worship bands.

I follow the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Cavs, world soccer, and especially Big Ten football and Ohio State.

I try never to miss The Office and realize I've worked with or been every character on the show.
