The Choices we Make

Decisions

The Choices we Make

Throughout life we make decisions

Sometimes their easy, sometimes hard

Yet we cannot escape from them

If we want to live life fully.

From the mundane things to life changing things

Like getting married, moving to another country

Having children, to picking our future career

The list is endless.

Each choice is a path,

but all paths blur at the end,

turning toward some distant shore.

Choice can be empowering but also burdensome.

All we can do is take the time to think through our thoughts

Taking as long as is necessary

Weighing up the pros and cons

Then decide on the most intuitive road to travel for us!

Life is never dull!

I am originally from the UK. Now living in New Zealand. My life so far has been a rollercoaster. I have children with special needs, lost my previous husband in 2008 and in 2021 my son Andrew died. Writing has and is cathartic for me!
