Choices

Even when I feel hemmed in by life, I make choices all day every day. Which street to take to work, what top with what pants, music or news on the radio (mostly news). The choices help me feel more in control of my life. I may not be able to change the big things in my life, but I can take pleasure in controlling the little decisions. Sometimes making all the decisions in a day feels overwhelming, particularly when I don't like my choices. But I make the decisions and move on to the next one and sleep well at night. I hope that you can find solace in your choices large and small that propel your days.

Living in the present

The name of the blog reflects my life philosophy. Ultimately, settling for what works in life is better than being miserable striving for what is not possible. We are not entitled to 24-7 happiness, but we are obliged to make something out of life on this planet. So I am simply finding the best aspects of the life I have instead of pining for another one. Settlement at its best. Let me know if you're living the same way.
