every second is a choice

Every minute is a choice
I could go to the Dollar store
Could get gas
Could get my hair cut
Could sit in the dog pen with my dogs

If I cancel my lunch date with three friends
I could get my teeth whitened,
Could attend a lecture on Sully
Could look for my lost emerald ring

Because I am getting lazy
And it is cold outside
And I hate driving

So many maybes, ifs, and coulds..
Every second is up to me.
Which maybes, ifs and coulds to act upon.
A daily dilemma. No one can solve but me.

'So many choices,' as they say mockingly. Yet you are spot-on: Every second is a choice. May we all make good ones all the time. ~ Gershon
