been thinking a lot lately about choices. my choices. others’ choices. and the grand effect of them all.
life really is all about choices, isn’t it? after all, the reason why we are here is about allowing us the freedom to choose. bad or good.
it seems like so often, people feel a need to explain their behavior as a result of what their parents have done or not done or should have done or shouldn’t have done. me included. but when it all comes down to the ‘nitty gritty’, don’t i have the choice? to choose some habits or traits, etc. and not choose others?
i guess i just feel like it is my responsibility to shape who i am and who i want to be. it doesn’t make sense to fault others for my shortcomings. if i want to change them. i can choose to do so.
basically it boils down to this: dallin and ella, if i totally mess up on motherhood, please don’t hate me forever. please choose to remember the good. and forget how i cook. 😉

This is awesome… I’ve been thinking about some of the same things and I’ve also come to the conclusion that I can also choose my reactions to things. And this makes all the difference. It totally changes my outlook and can transform a seemingly bad situation. I’m with you on responsibility.. and accountability too. I may mess up and make a mistake but if I learn from it and let it make me better… then I’m helping myself to evolve into a better person. I love that you THINK! you would think that this is a simple things that everyone does… but not true. You do! And I really love this post.
