We chose to celebrate the holiday by going to the candy store. While this may not be the obvious choice for most, for us it was a perfect fit. I am not sure what one is suppose to be doing today. I wonder if President's Day will be celebrated 15 years from now? I never saw MLK Day coming - wonder what will be next.
New week - new choices. We have entered our after-funeral phase. I picked up a package from the funeral home today. The photo collages, guestbook and more paperwork to be signed. We have had to make lots of choices in the last week in a very short amount of time. It was tough on DH and a few times, I stepped in when he just couldn't decide, one way or another.
Whether you think fast on your feet or not, we make thousands of decisions everyday -most, we do automatically. Some have long-lasting consequences and we have made a quite a few of those kind in the last few days. Last night, DH and I talked about would we have done anything differently had we known concretely, what the consequences would be.
For us, we did the right things.
We decided we would do nothing differently.
We can live with what we decided.
We had some tough choices to make today. Mommy said, Only 1 candy each. Nana probably had the toughest time with that but mommy was the boss of all of us so when she caved and allowed 2 each, we all breathed a sigh of relief. We all walked away, happy.
Whether you had to make some tough, long lasting decisions today or it was a pretty average day. remember Someday, you will wear each other's shoes. The deal is while you have no control over what may come your way, you can prepare yourself by knowing where you stand and who you stand with. It will make a world of difference in your life, Someday...
