Making Conscious Decisions

Our lives belong to us, and so do our decisions.

Just because an idea or way of doing things is popular doesn’t mean it’s right for everyone. However, part of the way that something becomes popular is that many of us don’t take the time to determine what’s right for us; we simply do what most of the people we know are doing. In this way, our decisions about life are made by default, which means they aren’t what we call conscious decisions. There may be many other options available, but we don’t always take the time to explore them. This may be the result of feeling overwhelmed or pressured by family, peers, and humanity at large, to do things their way, the way things have always been done. Regardless of the cause, it is important that, as often as we can, we decide for ourselves what to do with our lives rather than just drift along on the current of popular opinion.

It is not always easy to make decisions that go against the grain. Many people feel threatened when those close to them make choices divergent from the ones they are making. Parents and grandparents may be confused and defensive when we choose to raise our children differently from the way they raised us. Friends may feel abandoned if we decide to change our habits or behavior. Meanwhile, on our side of the fence, it’s easy to feel frustrated and defensive when we feel unsupported and misunderstood simply because we are thinking for ourselves. It can be exhausting to have to explain and re-explain our points of view and our reasons.

This is where gentleness, openness, and tolerance come into play. It helps if we are calmly persistent, consistent, and clear as we communicate to those around us why we are making the choices we are making. At the same time, we have the right to say that we are tired of talking about it and simply need our choices to be respected. Our lives belong to us and so do our decisions. Those who truly love us will stand by us and support our choices, never mind what’s popular. AMEN! ✨✨

Over the Rainbow
Song by Judy Garland

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why, then, oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida and may you still have sweet rain. 😘😜😎💕How are you and your
husband today Xango?

I did not know you had an accident on a bike as a child. I am so sorry and I don’t blame you
for not getting on one. Xango I had one too and one of my babies was on the back of the bike
my husband said everything was alright and we finished riding with all the children. ✨
One day I will tell you how I did have another incident that has affected me all my life.
I will save that for another day. 😜

I think you are one of the world’s best cooks never forget that. 😘😎 My dear you are a Wiz
when you do your cooking I know your husband is a happy camper. ✨

OZ will have more rain later today I will try to get another walk in with Poppy. Hey take it
easy today Prayers are still being said for you and your husband. 😘✨
