Powerful. Simple. Easy...yet sometimes so hard! Thank you for this reminder!!
ReplyDeleteYes. Every thing we do is a choice. Everything. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteMy choice is to spend my day soaking in positivity. Your list poem inspires me to do so, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I sit and marvel at the choices I can make for myself. Choices about the food I eat all the way to the attitude I take. When we feel this sense strongly, we feel in control. It's a powerful feeling.

ReplyDeleteHaving a choice is a gift, so we must choose wisely.

ReplyDeleteIt feels like a slice that would be a good conversation with students, too, Jennifer. My question sometimes to my class was "what kind of person would you choose to be if no one was looking?" It connects very much to your wonderful list of choices. Thanks for reminding us.
ReplyDeleteI must know how you come up with these great ideas to write about!!! I love this one and how true it is, and how sometimes people let others make choices for them. I'm trying so hard to work on that with my students!
