On Decisions We Almost Made


And Our Lives That Never Happened.

The possibilities in life are endless and when we make choices every day - about what time to wake up, whether to stand or sit on the subway, to call our boss/old friend/grandmother, to pick up an unlucky penny, to quit our jobs, to hold hands, to not hold hands, to look both ways, to laugh at a bad joke, to think happy thoughts, to stay up past our bedtimes, to drink chocolate milk instead of tea - those endless possibilities become enveloped in a single moment. I wonder, though, if we are closing the door to our lives that might have been or simply pulling down the shades so we don't get distracted by what's happening on the other side. If it's the latter, I take extra chocolate in my milk and thoroughly enjoy being unemployed. Enjoy!
