Decisions...

I continue to find it so interesting how the decisions we make in life can change not only the course of our own lives but to a greater degree, the actual course of history!

Yes!  It's true!

When we decide to go to this or that school or university, that will change the course of history.

When we decide to drink tea instead of coffee at breakfast....that most likely won't change the course of history much....unless we drank tea with poison in it, and we would end up at a hospital that didn't know what to do with us as the hospital didn't have an antidote, so we got really, really ill and they decided to send us to another hospital further away, where we managed to recover and there we met a person who was doing a study on anti-viral drugs which seemed to interest us...so much so that we decide to go into research to find drugs to help folks who've been poisoned also.

Strange scenario, eh?  Ya...but really not so strange when you hear the stories of other people and how they got where they did.  It usually boils down to one particular decision that we make and it actually does change the course of history....who we meet, or marry, or the children we have and the friends they come in contact with or the interests they have while growing up.....all little decisions but can turn into having some very significant results!

Not sure what got me talking about that but it most likely had something to do with discussions I had with our children today......decisions that are made and the resulting implications.  Good decisions too, I believe.  Son's girlfriend has made some significant decisions also that will most likely affect her life in the next while.  We see decisions which are made and it's like a great weight is lifted from a person's countenance.  A good feeling and a good decision I believe, has been made!

I think it's nearing bedtime.  Work tomorrow too.  I wonder what decisions will be made tomorrow that will change the course of history....or change how I live my own life. 

Time will tell.

Nite all.....I've decided not to have tea before bed....the result would be my not having to get up in the night.  A good decision....not earth shattering....but good, nonetheless!
