Life - Love - Choices

Blogging is new to me and I am tackling it with a shy courage. I thought it would be easy. I usually have a lot, sometimes too much, to say. Coming up with a title for my Blog was especially challenging. After reflecting on my book Broken Pieces, I decided Life – Love-Choices would be pretty near perfect.

CHOICES

Life is determined by choices.

Others – When we are young, most of our life events are determined by someone else's choices, usually our parents. That period of time is easy; we always have someone else to blame.

Our Own – At some point in our life, we will have to look back and take responsibility all on our own. It's scary at times. At the time, we may be making the worst possible choice and not even be aware of it until years later.

In my life, as I enter the final chapter, I have concluded that I would rather try and fail, be vulnerable, and love, than to look back and regret what I didn't say, do, or fight for. As Rose Tremain said, “Life is not a dress rehearsal.”

With many choices we only get one chance. The awesome thing about life is most of the time you can change your course at any time with another choice.

I pray you choose to live in the moment, say the “I love you” first, dance the dance when asked, and have the courage to follow your dream.

In your golden years, I hope you can reflect on your life and have few regrets for the choices you made...instead of regretting the choice you were afraid to make and let the life you truly wanted to pass you by.
