Decisions<\/p>\n
Valentine’s day and President’s day are very close to one another.<\/p>\n
Chris was saying, “I wish they had left the President’s days separate.”<\/p>\n
“You don’t like it being so generic? You mean we should not celebrate all Presidents?”<\/p>\n
“Well! It doesn’t seem fair that the guy who caught the flu on his inauguration day and died two weeks in office should be celebrated as much as the other presidents”<\/p>\n
Being president is something Americans are all supposed to be able to aspire to. How many American babies are cooed over in their cribs, and hear the pronouncement, “maybe this one will grow up to be president.”<\/p>\n
Yes, This is america, the place where you can carve your own destiny. ANYONE can grow up to be president.<\/p>\n
I wonder how many presidents aspired to the office? If they are like most people I know, the choice of becoming president was not really their own. They may have started along a political path and just sort of pushed, bumped, promoted along until they got to the White House.<\/p>\n
Huge life decisions are not made that way. Decisions are made before you know you’ve made them. Swerve one way or the other, and your feet have changed paths.<\/p>\n
The decision comes later. When it comes, it is less of a “will I go?” question, and more of a “Will I stop going?” question.<\/p>\n
I think love is the same way. The small decisions are often unseen. Will you be my valentine? How often is that question asked when the answer is not known?<\/p>\n
I think most decisions come after the fact. The momentous changes in direction are never recognized until they are past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
