Choices
Life is full of choices. Some are like the 3 doors on "Let's Make a Deal', not all that important in the big picture of things. Others are critical alternatives that might very well change the courses of our personal histories. Some of these options involve taking some chances. At this point I think I better defer to Mr Sinatra on this one..."regrets I've had a few." Sure, I have some regrets too and most of them, when I get right down to it, involve chances I should have taken. I'm not talking life and dead here. Just rolled the dice a little bit more here or there. They were decisions that I think I should have made. I kick myself on a few of them, on others I have no idea as to what my success or failure rate would have been. Some of these regrets have been shared with some members of my family and inner circle.
Some, I've kept deep within myself.
And no, we're not going to harvest them here in the open.
That's a 'crop choice' that's mine alone.
I'd probably have better luck with Monty Hall anyway.
I arrive to this age where I'm wondering about some of the things I left on the side of the road...or behind doors I did not open..
ReplyDeleteWell, sometimes I think about that...and then I realize there are still choices today that I would like to make, but can I? Those doors look alive, looking at us, watching what we're going to do...Yellow Submarine, that hallway with the doors?
ReplyDeletenice line-up to depict your point.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like there are often too many choices these days relative to just about anything. Love this very cool photo!
ReplyDeleteI find myself thinking more and more about the "what ifs" of life.
ReplyDeleteYes, I guess most of us have a lot of "what ifs." But we still have more choices yet to come - hopefully we are wiser now.
ReplyDeleteWe all have those what if moments in life.
ReplyDeleteA woman I know always said she never regretted anything she had done, but she did regret things she had not done . . . And that word 'choice' -- so evocative, so crucial -- ahhh.
ReplyDeleteWe could all get ourselves in a fine state of self-putty if we spent too much time reflecting on choices we made and choices we didn't make. I prefer to look ahead.
